It is shown that it is possible to improve the radar detection performance by using appropriate signal processing on two orthogonal polarization states. A CFAR (constant false alarm rate) polarimetric detection system based on the study of the polarization difference between clutter and target is proposed. Considering that the polarization state of the clutter echoes fluctuates slowly from cell to cell, an autoregressive model is applied to the components of the polarization vector in order to predict the detection thresholds that are able to follow the polarization state variations. The detection thresholds are determined to maintain a false alarm probability equal to 10/sup -6/. Results obtained from measurements of a simple and canonical target with artificial clutter validate the principle of the polarimetric detection.<>

Accurate weather spectrum moment estimation is important in the use of weather radar for hazardous windshear detection. The effect of the stable local oscillator (STALO) instability (jitter) on the spectrum moment estimation algorithm is investigated. Uncertainty in the stable local oscillator will affect both the transmitted signal and the received signal since the STALO provides transmitted and reference carriers. The proposed approach models STALO phase jitter as it affects the complex autocorrelation of the radar return. The results can therefore be interpreted in terms of any source of system phase jitter for which the model is appropriate and, in particular, may be considered as a cumulative effect of all radar system sources.<>

An eigenstructure-based method for direction finding in the presence of angularly dependent sensor phase and gain perturbations is presented. One application for this technique is the calibration of a radar array degraded by mutual coupling effects. The method simultaneously computes an estimate of the angle of arrival of a single source and calibrates the array for that specific angle. A calibration curve for a range of angles is derived by using polynomial interpolation to fit a small set of measured calibration points. Since the technique is a variation of the MUSIC processor for angle estimation, it is applicable to both uniform and nonuniform linear array configurations.<>

The ambiguity function is derived for a pulse Doppler radar which uses fill pulses, a moving target indicator, a (MTI) filter, and DFT (discrete Fourier transform) processing. Some special properties of the pulse Doppler radar ambiguity function and its correspondence with the autoambiguity function of a pulse train as a special case are described. Examples illustrating the utility of the ambiguity function in describing the interaction of the radar with its clutter environment, including transient effects, are presented.<>

Moving target detector (MTD) related multiple-hypothesis testing is considered, and the Dempster-Shafer theory is applied to this problem. Feature parameters are extracted from radar signals, and the value of each feature parameter is interpreted in terms of Dempster-Shafer's belief or disbelief for the associated hypotheses. Using Dempster's combining rule, a generalized likelihood ratio test is derived.<>

The interception problem is reviewed, an LPI radar design is examined and the performance of intercept receivers of the future is considered. The receiver needed to intercept LPI signals must respond across a broad band and provide noncoherent integration capabilities over times comparable to the coherent (or noncoherent) integration times used by radars. One useful receiver design is the rapidly swept superheterodyne receiver (RSSR). The band must be swept in a time which is short compared to the time the radar signal dwells at one frequency. The IF bandwidth of the RSSR must be wide enough to accommodate the pulse compression phase/frequency modulation used by the radar.<>

A Doppler correlation technique to extract target velocity data in MPRF (medium pulse repetition frequency) radars by starting from ambiguous measurements is presented. A two-step procedure that assures satisfactory performance for a multiple target environment and frequency agile radars is proposed. The performances have been assessed through a computer simulation which allowed the selection of the best values for Doppler coincidence threshold K and filter enlargement beta . In particular, the values K=L-1 and beta =30% represent the best tradeoff, since they give a probability of correct velocity resolution greater than 99.5%. It is shown that the velocity correlation algorithm can also operate as a deghosting filter.<>

A simple processing algorithm for performing long-term integration is developed and evaluated. The key step in the procedure is to make multiple ambiguous velocity estimates and use these velocity estimates to compensate for all possible target motions.

The question of what concept should be chosen for the case of an active, two-dimensional electronically scanning ground-based radar with many elements for jammer suppression in a dense jamming environment is discussed. The nonadaptive low sidelobe antenna is compared with the adaptive antenna. Although both antennas have the same performance for sidelobe jammers, the low-sidelobe (LS) antenna is vulnerable to main beam jamming. For multiple jammers this prevents radar operation with the LS-antenna, whereas the adaptive antenna is able to look through between the jammers. Practical aspects such as the generation of adaptive channels, channel accuracy, and ground reflections are mentioned.<>

A multilook technique for improving the radiometric resolution in SAR image formation without altering the geometric resolution of the impulse response is proposed. This technique is based on the formation of looks with different bandwidths. The final image is formed by giving each look a proper size and weighting and then adding them incoherently. The looks with larger bandwidth contribute to an improvement of the overall geometric resolution, while the looks with smaller bandwidth improve the overall radiometric resolution. The equivalent number of looks is more than 2.3 times the number of independent looks and is superior to conventional multilook processing with overlapping. An algorithm for efficient processing using the proposed technique is presented, and its validity is proved by image comparison and analysis.<>
