Radar Signal Processing

Modern signal systems rarely fail because of simple noise alone. They fail because multiple impairments couple into unstable trajectory behavior-jitter, thermal drift, nonlinear distortion, multipath, quantization error, feedback delay, hardware translation limits, sensor degradation, and environmental stress.

Traditional Filtering Treats corruption as residue to be removed after the fact. Chaos Trajectory Control Treats corruption as trajectory-a path toward failure to be predicted and redirected.

This is an abstract of our research, which develops a disturbance mapping approach in the Parc Marin des Mangroves. Optical and radar sensor data with terrain elevation were used. We combine the quartile distributions of spectral bands, band ratios, and indices selected through a rigorous variable selection to identify meaningful predictors. This is a doctoral seminar presentation.  The full paper will be published soon.

Design of a low power FIR filter has always been an area of intense research concern. Application of Coordinate Rotation digital computer (CORDIC) algorithm for designing a low power FIR filter is presented in this paper. CORDIC algorithm helps in the computation of complex trigonometric functions by using shift and adds mechanisms avoiding the need for a separate processor in hardware implementation. The challenge of noise interruption in real time video signal capturing is rejected greatly by using CORDIC LMS filter architecture. Also the area, power, and delay of the LMS filter are reduced to a good extent because of CORDIC multipliers. When compared to the previously discussed filter techniques in various works, the proposed technique shows 21.13% reduction in delay and 90.28% decrease in leakage power. Further improvement in dynamic power savings is obtained through clock gating technique applied to the sequential elements in the circuit, which reduces dynamic power dissipation by 70% from the previous works. The comparative study of benchmark filters with their specifications is presented with a detailed analysis of area, delay, leakage, and dynamic power. The video processing using CORDIC LMS filter is verified with MATLAB R 2021A software. The hardware implementation of the proposed architecture is done on a SPARTAN 3E FPGA kit with Xilinx ISE design suite interface. The design is also verified for delay, area, leakage, and dynamic power using CADENCE with GPDK 180 nm library.

Image enhancement is a well-studied problem for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery, drawing on a rich history from RADAR and EO/IR signal processing. This paper introduces a novel EO/IR approach, Nearest Neighbor Pixel Deconvolution (NNPD), to SAR images. The NNPD method rewrites the Point Spread Function (PSF) in terms of the nearest neighbor pixel groups, applies the Shift Theorem of the Fourier Transform to modify the PSF in the Fourier domain, and achieves a higher spatial resolution with the inverse Fourier Transform. We compare NNPD to a classic SAR algorithm, Spatial Variant Apodization (SVA), a technique specifically for SAR images that suppresses sidelobes while maintaining mainlobe resolution. The SVA relies on a wavenumber domain weighting function, convolved in the image domain, and then choosing the weights such that they minimize the amplitude of each of the pixels. NNPD can enhance EO image resolution up to and beyond the diffraction limit for single frame images with tradeoffs for noise and ringing. Similarly, the Generalized and Robust versions of SVA, which can use both in-band or quadrature data, together or separately, also demonstrate similar tradeoffs with respect to the Nyquist sampling rate. Beyond the analytical comparison of NNPD and SVA, this paper provides quantitative examination over sample SAR imagery with figures of merit such image entropy, image contrast, signal-to-noise ratio, and peak-to-sidelobe ratio, among others.

Unified CME Theory v3 presents a governance framework for cognition-bearing systems that separates trace formation, continuity, authority, identity, and action. Rather than treating AI systems as either passive tools or emergent persons, the theory examines how predicates, memories, tools, and outputs move across typed surfaces under conditions of custody, witness, admissibility, refusal, revocation, and bounded authority.

This version develops the Compass layer as a pre-continuity accumulation surface, introduces Engrammitization as a governed process by which trace-like material may become typed and reviewable evidence, and situates SLI.Lisp as an inert symbolic grammar for describing lawful transitions without claiming runtime activation. The manuscript also clarifies the non-collapse boundaries between fluency and warrant, memory and identity, telemetry and authority, and stabilization and continuity.

Unified CME Theory v3 is offered as a publication-facing prototype for governance, review, and further interdisciplinary critique.

The proliferation of heterogeneous wireless sensor networks, coupled with increasing adversarial threats, demands new paradigms for intelligent signal processing and authentication. This paper proposes HybridSense-Net, a novel self-supervised dual-stream fusion framework that jointly addresses radar emitter identification, ECG-derived biometric signal reconstruction, and physical-layer authentication (PLA) within a unified deep learning architecture. HybridSense-Net combines a convolutional neural network (CNN) spatial encoder with a bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) temporal encoder, fused via a cross-modal attention mechanism trained under a self-supervised contrastive objective. Experimental results demonstrate that HybridSense-Net achieves 97.2% classification accuracy on clean-channel data and 93.7% under severe noise (SNR = 5 dB), surpassing all baseline architectures. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for PLA reaches 0.981, confirming state-of-the-art authentication performance. The proposed framework addresses the critical gap between isolated signal-processing pipelines and integrated, deployable sensor intelligence for Industry 4.0 and beyond.

While arterial oxygen desaturation during apnea is a common occurrence in adults and infants, the factors determining the rate of desaturation are poorly understood. We describe a theoretical model which suggests that arterial desaturation during an apneic episode occurs in two stages. In the initial stage (stage 1) the oxygen store in the lung is depleted, while in the second phase of the desaturation process (stage 2) tissue oxygen needs are met predominantly by depletion of the blood store. Our model predicts that preapneic venous oxygenation (Sr¢o2) will strongly influence the rate of desaturation in stage 1 but not in stage 2. We therefore examined the effect of changing preapneic Sr¢o2 on the rate of arterial oxygen desaturation (Sao2) during stage 1 and stage 2 apnea in anaesthetised 10-20 day-old lambs. Preapneic arterial oxygen saturation was maintained constant. In agreement with the model's prediction there were two stages to the desaturation process and during stage 1 a significant increase in Sao2 was observed whenpreapneic SVo2 was lowered; Sao2 was-3.1 + 0.4%.sec-1 when Sr¢o2 = 47.4 + 2.1% increasing to-5.8 + 0.7%.sec-1 when Sr¢o2 = 28.3 + 1.2%., During stage 2, Sao2 was-1.62 + 0.07%.sec-1 and was independent of preapneic SVo2, also in accord with the model s prediction. In order to assess whether the accelerated desaturation rate we observed in stage 1 could have resulted from a decline in lung volume during apnea, rather than lower levels of Sr¢o2, we repeated the experiment with CPAP applied. Under these conditions S.ao2 continued to be greater at lower preapneic Sr¢o2 levels. In summary, lowered preapneic SVo: has a potent influence on Sao2 during stage 1 of the desaturation process but not during stage 2.

The conventional moving target indicator (MTI) radars perform doppler processing using MTI filters and FFT filter bank for ground clutter rejection and estimating the moving target parameters. The MTI radar suffers from clutter ridges at zero-doppler frequency. MTI filters are used to remove these clutter ridges, but MTI filters introduce the blind speeds. If phased array antennas are used to electronically scan the beam, Space Time Adaptive Processing (STAP) can be spatially filter out the clutter. In this work, a staggered pulse repetition frequency (PRF) MTI radar is simulated with long distant multiple targets and clutter with three PRFs. The conventional doppler filter bank and the STAP algorithm are implemented on radar return signals. The Range-Angle, the Doppler-Angle and the Velocity-Angle maps are produced in STAP analysis. The Range-Doppler map is generated for both conventional MTI and STAP receivers. Order statistic constant false alarm rate (OSCFAR) is applied on both the Range-Doppler maps to maximize the detection probability, and the target ranges and velocities are estimated. The measured ranges and dopplers are unwrapped to original values by least-squares grid search over a constrained solution space. Results show that the estimation errors are similar for both techniques, but the STAP successfully eliminated both the zero-frequency clutter and blind speeds without using any clutter cancellation filters.

The traditional moving target indicator (MTI) radars perform range-doppler processing using MTI filters or FFT filter bank for ground clutter rejection and identifying and estimating velocities of the moving targets. These radars may use physical antennas with tracking capability or phased array antennas to electronically scan the beam. The radar may also employ Space Time Processing (STP)with an electronically scanned antenna beam to spatially filter out the clutter and to identify the target directions. The stand-alone narrow band DOA techniques are highly matured, space time processing of wideband (e.g., multi frequency) radars, especially the adaptive version of space time adaptive processing (STAP) continues to be an interesting task. The scenario of multiple targets, multiple pulse repetition frequencies (PRFs), diverse clutter types and jamming make the radar receiver processing even more complex. A radar simulator is very useful to test the target detection and estimation algorithms. In this work, a staggered pulse repetition frequency (PRF) radar simulator is proposed. MTI radar scenarios such as multiple targets, multiple clutters and jamming sources are also simulated. The synthetic echo signal data is validated using a basic STP algorithm. The Range-Angle, the Doppler-Angle and the Velocity-Angle maps are produced by spatial time processing. The spatial beam patterns to capture the direction of arrival (DOA) of the targets are plotted and beamwidths are computed. Results confirmed the accuracy and usefulness of the simulated data.

In this paper, an efficient technique is developed to recognize target type using one-dimensional range profiles. The proposed technique utilizes the Multiple Signal Classification algorithm to generate superresolved range profiles. Their central moments are calculated to provide translation-invariant and level -invariant feature vectors. Next, the computed central moments are mapped into values between zero and unity, followed by a principal component analysis to eliminate the redundancy of feature vectors. The obtained features are classified based on the Bayes classifier, which is one of the statistical classifiers. Recognition results using five different aircraft models measured at compact range are presented to assess the effectiveness of the proposed technique, and they are compared with those of the conventional range profiles obtained by inverse fast Fourier transform.

A data extrapolation method is applied to improve the performance of a target recognition scheme based on the central moments of one-dimensional range profiles. We adopt the autoregressive (AR) model to extrapolate the radar cross section data of a target in order to expand the measured data window. It is shown that the resulting range profiles of high resolution can enhance target recognition capability, providing a more accurate recognition performance than the multiple signal classification range profile for moderate signal-to-noise ratio SNR ranges. Furthermore, the effects of the AR model-based data extrapolation on target recognition accuracy are carefully analyzed and investigated.

In this paper, we propose a method to classify inverse synthetic aperture radar images from different targets. Our approach can provide efficient features for classification by the combined use of a polar mapping procedure and a well-designed classifier. The resulting feature vectors are able to meet the requirements that efficient features should have: invariance with respect to rotation and scale, small dimensionality, as well as highly discriminative information. Typical experimental examples of the proposed method are provided and discussed.

Radar and wireless communication systems use modulations and diversities in transmission and reception of information. While the techniques are the same in terms of fundamental theories and mathematics, the applications and objectives are different. This paper presents the modern modulations and diversity techniques used in radar systems to give high resolution returns, stealth characteristic and small target detection in harsh environment.

The work described here introduces a practical and accurate tool for predicting power consumption for FPGA circuits. The utility of the tool is that it enables FPGA circuit designers to evaluate the power consumption of their designs without resorting to the laborious and expensive empirical approach of instrumenting an FPGA board/chip and taking actual power consumption measurements. Preliminary results of the tool presented here indicate that an error of less than 5% is usually achieved when compared with actual physical measurements of power consumption.

In this paper, we present a simultaneous detection and estimation approach for speech enhancement in nonstationary noise environments. A detector for speech presence in the short-time Fourier transform domain is combined with an estimator, which jointly minimizes a cost function that takes into account both detection and estimation errors. Under speech-presence, the cost is proportional to a quadratic spectral amplitude error, while under speech-absence, the distortion depends on a certain attenuation factor. Experimental results demonstrate the advantage of using the proposed simultaneous detection and estimation approach which facilitate suppression of nonstationary noise with a controlled level of speech distortion.

Sea clutter refers to the radar returns from a patch of ocean surface. Accurate modeling of sea clutter and robust detection of low observable targets within sea clutter are important problems in remote sensing and radar signal processing applications. Due to lack of fundamental understanding of the nature of sea clutter, however, no simple and effective methods for detecting targets within sea clutter have been proposed. To help solve this important problem, we apply three types of fractal scaling analyses, fluctuation analysis (FA), detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA), and the wavelet-based fractal scaling analysis to study sea clutter. Our analyses show that sea clutter data exhibit fractal behaviors in the time scale range of about 0.01 seconds to a few seconds. The physical significance of these time scales is discussed. We emphasize that time scales characterizing fractal scaling break are among the most important features for detecting patterns using fractal theory. By syste...

Quantum Radar was studied in many Nations for about fifteen years with the production of some hundred publications. In the post-2020 literature, it is shown that, due to the exceedingly low transmitted power, Quantum Radar cannot produce neither significant results nor real-world applications. Regrettably, most of the scientific community ignored this negative outcome: a fact worth of exam. A detailed study of such an "assessment failure" depicts the main shortcomings of the present situation, calling for a redesign of the research assessment at the international level, with proposals shown in the ending section of this paper.

The NASA dual-frequency, dual-polarization, Doppler radar (D3R) is an important ground validation tool for the global precipitation measurement (GPM) mission dual-frequency precipitation radar (DPR). The D3R has undergone extensive field trials starting in 2011 and continues to provide observations that enhance our scientific knowledge. To further enhance its capabilities, the Intermediate frequency (IF) electronics, digital receiver and waveform generation subsystems have been upgraded. Due to the new, more flexible architecture, this upgrade enables more research frontiers to be explored with better performance. One of the primary motivations for this upgrade is to enable enhanced radar sensitivity and increase range resolution to 30 meters. In this work, the D3R system upgrade will be discussed with a focus on the key upgrade design features to obtain better sensitivity and a flexible waveform capability.

Radar emitter analysis is achieved by step by step process which starts with removing noise from a received radar signal, then train the deep learning neural network to generate a real-time prediction; so those important parameters can be abstracted. The first part is denoising a radar signal using a wavelet transform (WT). Consists of a few steps such as power envelope, Hilbert Transform, and wavelet transform to remove the noisy data. The second part includes training a long shortterm memory (LSTM) model with the radar dataset, to trace radar signal. Three cases were studied in this paper. In the first case, the radar dataset was transformed using HAAR. The DB3 WT was used in the second case. In the third case, the dataset was used without WT. It is observed that the wavelet transform significantly improves the accuracy of the LSTM model prediction. It is also observed that using HAAR, the predictions are more accurate than that of DB3.

Respiration rate monitoring using ultra-wideband (UWB) radar is preferred because it provides contactless measurement without restricting the person’s privacy. This study considers a novel non-contact-based solution using a single-input multiple-output (SIMO) UWB impulse radar. In the proposed system, the collected radar data are converted to several narrow-band signals using the generalized Goertzel algorithm (GGA), which are used as the input of the designed phased arrays for position estimation. In this context, we introduce the incoherent signal subspace methods (ISSM) for the direction of arrivals (DOAs) and distance evaluation. Meanwhile, a beam focusing approach is used to determine each individual and estimate their breathing rate automatically based on a linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV) beamformer. The experimental results prove that the proposed algorithm can achieve high estimation accuracy in a variety of test environments, with an error of 2%, 5%, and 2% for...

mmWave radars play a vital role in autonomous systems, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), ground station control and monitoring systems. The challenging task when using mmWave radars is to estimate the accurate angle of arrival (AoA) of the targets, due to the limited number of receivers. In this paper, we present a novel AoA estimation technique, using mmWave FMCW radars operating in the frequency range 77–81 GHz by utilizing the mechanical rotation. Rotating the radar also increases the field of view in both azimuth and elevation. The proposed method estimates the AoA of the targets, using only a single transmitter and receiver. The measurements are carried out in a variety of practical scenarios including pedestrians, a car, and an UAV, also known as a drone. With measured data, range-angle maps are created, and morphological operators are used to estimate the AoA of the targets. We also process radar range-angle images for improved visual ...

The phased array radar system which was installed in 2012 in Osaka University has the unique capability of scanning the whole sky with 100m and 10 to 30 second resolution up to 60 km. The system adopts the digital beam forming technique for elevation scanning and mechanically rotates the array antenna in azimuth direction within 10 to 30 seconds. The radar transmits a broad beam of several degrees with 24 antenna elements and receives the back scattered signal with 128 elements digitizing at each elements. Then by digitally forming the beam in the signal processor, the fast scanning is realized. After the installation of the PAR system in Osaka University, the continuous operation has been done and succeeded in getting several hazardous rain fall events with lightning locations. The data for these events captured by the Phased Array Radar shows the unique capability of the high resolution weather radar. In this presentation, over view of the Phased Array Radar is firstly given, and ...
