The computational complexity of robust adaptive array with quadratic constraints is a critical problem in real time implementation. For coping with this problem, the Chua's (1988) nonlinear programming recurrent neural network is explored, which is used to solve the optimal solution of the robust adaptive array with quadratic constraints. The present approach converges within several times of the circuit time constant, thus particularly suitable to real time applications.

This paper describes beam compression or angular resolution enhancement techniques. The target distribution is smoothed by the antenna pattern and smeared echoes are observed. How to recover the true target is an essential problem. Without increasing antenna size, an apparently sharpened radar beam is obtainable by several techniques.

A type of detection problem of the wideband transients which are often encountered in wideband radar and sonar applications is formulated. On the basis of wavelet theory, the optimal matched detection in the time-scale domain is introduced and several detectors are developed. The mother wavelet applied in the detection is designed by the neural network we developed. The performance of the detectors is analyzed by Monte-Carlo simulation. The numerical results show that the detectors are often effective and robust.

The paper deals with the performances of the first and second order rank detectors in presence of correlated K-distributed clutter. First, assuming a perfect knowledge of both clutter shape factor and texture correlation, the detection probability of the rankers is compared to the ideal performance and to that of a cell-averaging detector. Then, an on-line estimator of the shape factor in the correlated environment is introduced, and the corresponding detection losses are analyzed.

In step frequency radar, the frequency of each pulse is increased in steps to achieve large effective bandwidth sequentially instead of instantaneously and thus easing the requirements on the analog to digital converter (ADC) and other hardware. This paper discusses the step frequency radar and its associated signal processing, and it investigates this type of radar with the ambiguity function. The mathematical expression is derived for the ambiguity function of step frequency radar receiver and processor. The processor functions included are range gating, weighting, fill pulses, and inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT). Ambiguity diagrams are plotted for step frequency receiver processor and comparison is made with traditional constant frequency radar.

This paper presents a signal processing method to remove the velocity vagueness and probability ambiguity of the random binary phase coded pulse signal (RBPC-PS) radar. From all the results analysed and discussed, we can conclude that because of the excellent specific property of the random signal and by adopting a reasonable signal processing scheme, the RBPC-PS radar system possesses a good resolution and accuracy in measuring the distance and the velocity of the target and good jamming immunity, and it can remove the distance and velocity vagueness caused by periods and extend the Doppler tolerance. From the results we can also see that the statistical method of the range sidelobe (RSL) suppression can reduce the RSL by over 30 dB thus avoiding the probability ambiguity, which makes the RBPC-PS radar system practical.

An approach to aircraft target classification by conventional radar is presented that uses the engine modulation on radar echoes from the detected target. The echo series are rearranged into a graph and the modulation signatures are extracted by an optical Fourier transform. A semi-connected backpropagation neural network classifier is trained for classification. Experiment results on an air defense surveillance radar show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

For pt.I see ibid., p.755, 1996. The considerations on space-time adaptive processing for clutter rejection in air- and spaceborne radar presented in pt.I of this paper are continued. While in part I space-time processing algorithms were presented which are capable of adaptive real-time processing in this paper some consideration on frequency domain processing are made. Two new variants of the well-known space-time processors described in pt.I are presented. All processors presented in the two twin papers are compared in terms of computational complexity which is equivalent to the real-time processing capability. It is shown that frequency domain processing may yield some advantage over space-time processing.
