Course content
Principles of radar systems: primary radar, secondary radar, passive radar, bistatické, multistatické. Distance measurement of the position angle and velocity using electromagnetic waves: resolution, clarity and accuracy. Scattering of electromagnetic waves on objects: the classification of objects, description of the variance, the statistical properties of scattering and implications for the detection of objects. Influence of electromagnetic waves propagation in the atmosphere, the ionosphere, in the presence of obstacles and terrain characteristics of the radar systems. Radar equation: basic equation, the equation of a limited range of noise, veil, cover and search equation: derivation, consequences. Radar systems: primary radar coherent and incoherent (HPRF, LPRF, LPI), secondary radar (ATC, SAR), passive radar coherent and incoherent (TOA, TDOA, DOA, Doppler., PCL), bistatické, multistatické. Customized filtering and pulse compression, the function of uncertainty of radar signals. Doppler filtering, detection, CFAR. Association and the monitoring of targets and trajectories, Kalman filtering, the issue many goals - startup, PHD method, model search multičásticový position of many goals.
