China Digital Radio (CDR) broadcasting is a new standard of digital audio broadcasting of FM frequency (87-108 MHz) based on our research and development efforts. It is compatible with the frequency spectrum in analog FM radio and satisfies the requirements for smooth transition from analog to digital signal in FM broadcasting in China. This paper focuses on the signal characteristics and processing methods of radio-based passive radar. The signal characteristics and ambiguity function of a passive radar illumination source are analyzed. The adverse effects on the target detection of the side peaks owing to cyclic prefix, the Doppler ambiguity strips because of signal synchronization, and the range of side peaks resulting from the signal discontinuous spectrum are then studied. Finally, methods for suppressing these side peaks are proposed and their effectiveness is verified by simulations.

: An important bottleneck in spatial spectrum estimation theory is array errors. A new error self-calibration method is presented on the basis of active error calibration and online self-calibration theories. An algorithm combining Direction Of Arrival (DOA) estimation and array complex gain error calibration is developed using an auxiliary source without accurate spatial location information and numerical optimization calculation; the error calibration parameters can be used in the following spatial spectrum estimation. The method has a higher veracity than the active correction algorithm and is an offline calculation procedure, having the advantage of small computation amount, similar to the online self-calibration method, and avoiding accurate spatial location information in classical active calibration method.

: In this study, the performance of three phase-modulated signals used in airborne Synthetic Aperture Ladar (SAL) is investigated. The transmitting and receiving modes and imaging processing methods for these signals are studied. Considering that the swath of the airborne SAL is very narrow, in order to reduce the AD sampling rate of the wideband signal, a “phase-dechirping” receiving mode is proposed for the phase-modulated signal based on the Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM) signal. The imaging simulation results for these three phase-modulated signals validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Broadband Digital Beam Forming (DBF) is a key technique for the realization of Digital Array Radar (DAR). We propose the method of combination realization of the channel equalization and DBF time delay filter function by using the adaptive sample matrix inversion algorithm. The broadband DBF function is realized on a new DBF module based on parallel fiber optic engines and Field Program Gate Array (FPGA). When used in some radar products, good performance is achieved.

In recent years, Internal Waves (IWs) detection in a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image has received considerable attention in the area of marine remote sensing. In fact, IWs detection has already become one of the most important marine applications of SAR. Typical research results from home and abroad are reviewed. In this paper, the parameter inversion method of IWs, the effect of different SAR parameters and wind field conditions on IWs imaging, and the 2-dimentional SAR imaging simulation of IWs are introduced and summarized.
