The detection and tracking of small targets on the ocean surface is a challenging problem due to low signal-to-clutter ratio (SCR) that results from low grazing angles and high sea state. Recent advances in sensing technologies have enabled waveform-agile schemes that tailor the sensor waveform to match the overall sensing objective. In this paper, we propose a methodology to dynamically adapt the transmitted waveform to improve the tracking performance for scenarios characterized by heavy sea clutter. Employing the compound-Gaussian model for sea clutter, we develop an algorithm for online design of a phase-modulated waveform that improves the SCR in a range bin of interest. A particle Alter tracker uses the measurements obtained by this waveform to estimate the target state. We present a simulation study to demonstrate that our scheme leads to improved tracking performance.

This paper presents the hybrid algorithm of SigmaDelta-STAP and direct data domain(D3) which is robust to the discrete interferer. SigmaDelta-STAP provides high performance result with the relatively low complexity of calculation. It also requires small number of training sample to estimate covariance matrix. However this algorithm is vulnerable to the discrete interferer which is target-like interferer with high SNR. This paper shows that SigmaDelta-STAP can suppress discrete interferer signal in conjunction with direct data domain (D3) method which is an effective method to eliminate non-correlated interference such as discrete interferer in the non-homogeneous environment.
提出了一种对离散干扰具有鲁棒性的SigmaDelta-STAP和直接数据域(D3)混合算法。SigmaDelta-STAP以相对较低的计算复杂度提供了高性能的结果。估计协方差矩阵也需要少量的训练样本。但该算法容易受到高信噪比类目标干扰的干扰。研究表明，SigmaDelta-STAP与直接数据域(direct data domain, D3)方法结合可以抑制离散干扰信号，是一种在非均匀环境下消除离散干扰等非相关干扰的有效方法。

A complex wavelet-based Bayesian method is proposed for denoising of medical ultrasound images. The symmetric alpha-stable distribution (SaS) is used to model the real and imaginary parts of the complex wavelet coefficients of logarithmically transformed noise-free images. The coefficients that correspond to the noise are assumed to approximate a Gaussian distribution. These models are then exploited to develop a Bayesian maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimator, which is well defined for all SaS random variables. To estimate the wavelet coefficients statistics precisely and adaptively, we classify the wavelet coefficients into different clusters using context modeling, which exploits the intrascale dependency of wavelet coefficients. The simulations demonstrate an improved denoising performance over some related earlier techniques.

A design technique for reducing in-band intermodulation products caused by adjacent channel signals is presented. The technique makes use of the fact that certain in-band nonlinear responses depend upon the out-of-band linear behavior of the network. The concept is illustrated by means of a simple example.

In this work the evaluation of LS channel estimation algorithm for MIMO-OFDM system is carried out. The evaluation has been made using specific pilot design rules that guarantee a bounded error level for the estimation. The method is used to estimate the channel matrix. The quality of the method is evaluated, not for a specific channel but in diverse surroundings of mobile representative channels with different characteristics (SUI channels). The evaluation has been made by software simulations and system parameters complying 802.16 standard. Estimation error dependence on the number of pilots used, its design parameters and SNR are obtained.

Distributed sensing systems incorporating RF tomography allow a trade-off between spatial and spectral diversity, however a large number of widely spaced sensors is conventionally thought to be required. A practical method of reducing the number of sensor nodes is introduced via the concept of the virtual tomographic array. Furthermore, the geometry of this virtual array is electronically reconfigurable. Optimal resource allocation is accomplished instantaneously, with dynamic control based upon matching sensing modalities to site specific target and clutter observables.

High frequency surface wave radar (HFSWR) systems operate in heavily congested high frequency (HF) band. It is very difficult to find continuous clear channels for the wide-band HFSWR systems. Both the conventional frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) and the frequency modulated interrupted continuous wave (FMICW) are not able to solve the problem. The sparse waveform design can mitigate the interferences influence by discontinuous spectra waveforms; however, it gives rise to high range side lobes, which can't be suppressed by traditional spectral weighting. In this paper, we investigate a genetic algorithms (GAs) based sparse waveform optimization approach for HFSWR systems. Simulation results show an optimal transmitting sparse waveform solution.

Digital beamforming (DBF) technique is a promising technique for future Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). In this paper, we present the preliminary experiments and investigate the crucial parameters for the optimization of the DBF SAR. The measurements were accomplished by a ground-based DBF SAR system for a single target. The demonstrator provides the raw data including the system response. SAR images were reconstructed with numerous spatial sampling distances, not only by DBF SAR processing, but also conventional mono-static SAR processing. The reconstructed images show that the minimum variation of the phase between the receive channel is crucial to obtain the theoretical improvement factor and achieve the wide area observation with fine resolution.

Two-channel SAR-GMTI systems are suboptimal for moving target motion parameter estimation. Indeed, the ATI phase estimate of the across-track velocity component for a moving target is biased to lower values depending on the target signal to clutter ratio and the target across-track velocity. Additional antenna diversity can introduce additional degrees of freedom that can eliminate the bias problem. Aperture switching is an accepted method to virtually increase the number of channels without adding new hardware. One such mode is the RADARSAT-2 toggle mode (S. Chiu and C. Gierull, 2006). This paper proposes a new processing method to create a similar effective phase center configuration as the RADARSAT-2 Toggle mode from already recorded two-channel SAR data. This is achieved by delaying and combining the recorded two-channel measurements. The combination operation manifests not only a third phase center halfway between the phase centers of the two-channel system, but also a different antenna length of the virtual third antenna which requires a modification of the DPCA-ATI processing algorithm. The DPCA-ATI performance of the new mode is assessed and compared to ATI from the original two-channel mode.
