Description

Radar Fundamentals: Range, backscatter, noise, clutter, range equation, radar cross section (RCS). Backscatter characteristics of targets (eg. aircraft, ship and tanks) and clutters (eg. sea, land and rain). Low reflection materials. Radar Systems: CW/FM radar, Doppler, range and frequency resolution. Pulse radar, pulse width, PRF, signal spectrum, ambiguities in range/Doppler, pulse integration. MTI radar, non-coherent and coherent detection, matched filter, pulse compression. Imaging radar, range and cross-range resolution, image formation and characteristics, distributed and point targets, inverse imaging, focussed and unfocussed SAR and ISAR system design, airborne/spaceborne SAR platforms. Data Analysis: noise removal, error correction, feature selection and feature extraction, data fusion and image segmentation, Gaussian maximum likelihood classification. Applications: stationary and moving targets detection, targets recognition, tracking and surveillance, earth resources monitoring.
