Waveform Diversity Methods for Multi-Parameter Radar Applications

Abstract

The Workshop will provide a succinct and tailored-to-need insight into the judiciously chosen basic concepts underlying the currently evolving developments in Polarisation and Waveform Diversity methods in multi-parameter radar applications. The course, though focussed on the aforementioned topics, will be general enough to appeal to radar and propagation engineers dealing with multi-parameter remote sensing and vehicle-borne radar sensors. The course combines oral presentation, hands-on signal processing, and demonstration of the state-of-the-art equipment for generating waveform signals and their analysis. The primary objective of the tutorial workshop is to provide ‘key fundamentals’ that will appeal not only to the newcomer but also to the established engineers in the field. The tutorial approach of the workshop presentations and the structure of the contents will be tailored to make the material comprehensible to participants from diverse backgrounds, engineering and non-engineering alike. In this spirit, the workshop will feature the following key topics: - Key Basic Concepts of Polarimetric and Waveform Radar Systems and Signals - Radar Signal Processing for SAR Sensors: Hands-on approach - Waveform-Based Methods of MIMO and SISO radar systems
