In this work, we propose a new method which we call DeepASTC, for antenna scanning type classification in Electronic Warfare Systems. DeepASTC is a deep neural network composed of LSTMs. Amplitude patterns of the deinterleaved radar pulses are fed into our network, and the corresponding scanning type is automatically obtained. DeepASTC and the Multiclass Support Vector Machine (SVM) based classifier method are compared. It is observed that the proposed DeepASTC is able to achieve 93.8% correct classification rate on average, whereas the corresponding rate for the Multiclass SVM method is 86.3%. Conducted experiments show that, the proposed DeepASTC performs successfully on the synthetic data sets.

This paper presents the design and performance of a Direct RF Sampling Radar Altimeter based on the RFSoC from Xilinx. This architecture removes the mixing stage by sampling directly from the RF band of interest. The laboratory tests, conducted with certified equipment (Alt-8000), demonstrate that the proposed design meets the accuracy standards set by RTCA's DO-155. In addition, this work highlights some challenges and design consideration that comes with this technique.

In this paper, we delve deeper into recent advancements in radar based biomedical measurements that capture fine movements associated with human heart sounds. We call this measurement the Radarcardiograph (RCG). We analyze the RCG of three subjects to identify distinguishing time and frequency components of the signal. We introduce a parametric signal model as a function of the identified characteristic features. From there, we simultaneously collect and time synchronize the RCG with conventional contact based cardiac interval measurements. We then compare these signals using the Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT), Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) and Cochleogram (CLG) for time-frequency analysis. We comment on the similarities and difference of the signals, using the model as reference. Our results improve current understanding of radar based heart sound measurements and provide further validation that radar can be used for non-contact technology heart sound monitoring. We identify limitations in radar based heart sounds measurements. Namely, limited signal quality in the wireless channel, reduced recovered frequency range and weak high frequency components. However, such problem can be addressed via advanced denoising algorithms and system level optimization.

Hybrid regularization methods can be applied in airborne real aperture array radar (RAAR) to improve its angular resolution by combining the advantages of different regularization norms. However, the scale information of the extended targets cannot be accurately obtained because its reconstructed performance is related to the selected regularization parameters. In this paper, to accurately observe the scale information of extended targets, an adaptive hybrid regularization (AHR) method is proposed by a data-adaptive reweighted strategy. First, the generalized sparse (GS) regularization norm and the generalized total variation (GTV) regularization norm are combined to enhance the angular resolution and scale information of extended targets simultaneously. Second, a data-adaptive reweighted strategy is proposed to reduce the number of selected regularization parameters. Finally, simulations are carried out to verify the reconstructed performance of the proposed method. Based on the proposed AHR method, the scale information of the extended targets can be accurately obtained by adaptively selecting proper regularization parameters.

In this paper, we propose a robust multiple target classification algorithm for real-world complex cluttered environments that can be mapped into low-cost millimeter-wave (mmWave) sensors considering limited memory and processing power budget. A novel approach is developed to create both μ-Doppler and μ-range spectrogram of multiple objects concurrently using an extended Kalman filter (EKF) based tracking layer integration. One-dimensional (1D) time sequence features are extracted from both spectrograms per target object, and a 1D convolutional neural network (CNN) based classifier is built to classify multiple target objects (human or non-human) in the same scene accurately.

The OFDM sequences with low correlation sidelobe level (CSLL) is desired in many 5G wireless systems. The OFDM sequences and mismatch filter are jointly designed by maximizing the weighted merit factor (WMF) of the cross-correlation between the OFDM sequences and mismatch filter under the constraints of spectra, where MF refers to the ratio of the central lobe energy to the sum of all other lobes. To solve the nonconvex problem, we devise an efficient alternating optimization (AltOpt) algorithm. Numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

In a previous paper, we introduced a flexible methodology for the design of dual-use waveform alphabets which are suitable for simultaneous use in radar and wireless communications. Here we extend this work to accommodate waveforms of constant modulus, and explain how pulse compression constraints may be leveraged to significantly mitigate the significant issue of range-sidelobe modulation. We report results of a field test which validated performance expectations.

This study experimentally demonstrates a radar-centric integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system that exploits the radar transmission parameters as modulation indexes to communicate with the user devices while performing short-range radar sensing. The center frequency, bandwidth, and polarization of the transmitted radar chirps are used as modulation indexes. The simulation results have been verified by real-time over-the-air experimental measurements that have also revealed the trade-off between the radar sensing performance and communication data rate, depending on the radar waveform parameters selected in the ISAC system. The proposed dual-function radar and communication system was shown to reach up to 10 Megabits/s throughput depending on the bandwidth and centre frequency separations and chirp duration.
