Course objectives:
|
The aim of the course is to be familiar with different types of radar systems, from the point of view of both hardware and signal processing in the complete signal path
|
Requirements on student
|
The student completes at least 5 consultations during the semester concerning the theoretical content of the course. The student will pass at least 3 consultations concerning the assigned practical work.
As part of the practical work, the student will work on the topic of modern radar systems, especially in the field of detection, association and classification of targets in various radar systems. The specific topic will be determined with regard to the topic of dissertation.
|
Content
|
The course will also discuss issues of flight instrumentation, methods and means for landing under difficult meteorological conditions and specific NDB, VOR, ILS, MLS and DME systems. Furthermore, the subject will include principles of modern radars with a synthetic aperture using sophisticated radar data processing to create a narrow effective anténna beam. An experimental verification of the properties of radar signals dealing with the demonstration of individual steps of the signal processing will be included using modern instrumentation in combination with the existing infrastructure aassistance of the subject. Attention will be paid to the use of radars in meteorology including experimental - research activities.
Content: *Principles of radar systems: primary radars, secondary radars, passive radars, bistatic, multistatic ones + MIMO. *Measurement of distance, position angle and speed by means of electromagnetic waves. Resolution, unambiguity and accuracy. *Radars with synthetic aperture (SAR, ISAR) *Electromagnetic wave difraction on objects: object classification, scattering and difraction description, statistical properties of scattering and consequences for object detection. *Influence of atmospheric and ionospheric electromagnetic wave propagation and also in the presence of obstacles and terrain on the properties of radar systems. *Radar equations: basic equation, noise (veil) -limited range equation, coverage shielding equation and search equation- derivation, consequences. *Primary coherent and non-coherent radars (HPRF, LPRF, LPI): types of modulation (pulse, LFM, NLFM, FMCW, FMiCW, P1-P4,Frank code, noisy) *Primary processing by coherent radars (pulse compression, Doppler filtration, integration, detection, extraction), secondary processing (monitoring, Kalman filtration) and tertiary processing (sensor fusion, data association). *Special types of primary radars: surveillance, approach and tracking, aviation, meteorological radars, FMCW sensors *Secondary ATC radars: Basic modes of operation, derived ADS-B and ACAS systems *Coherent and non-coherent bistatic and multistatic radars (TOA, TDOA, DOA, Doppler, PCL): position ans speed derivation, system errors, data association in the primary system, target tracking - particulate filters, coherent systems: adaptive clutter filtration, uncertainty function.
