This paper presents the results of the Software-defined Multiband Array Passive Radar (SMARP) project. The objective of the project was to design and realize a multiband passive radar demonstrator based on a software-defined solution and oriented to coastal surveillance applications. This work has been conceived in the framework of the Italian National Plan for Military Research. The project overall...
In a maritime domain awareness scenario, two main areas of interest can be recognized, specifically harbour protection and navigation safety. Harbour protection is currently a main concern and it is aimed at controlling the risk associated with possible attacks or illegal activities which can take place in the marine access areas. On the other hand, the objectives of the navigation safety are essentially...
This work is focussed on the estimation of the detection probability for Passive Bistatic Radar (PBR) systems. The aim of this work is to develop a methodology for estimating the probability of detection from real data. Two techniques have been introduced and compared in terms of Receiver Operating Curves (ROC) in a real scenario with a cooperative target.
In this paper, we compare and contrast code, time and spatial domain signal processing techniques for mitigating the effects of the ambiguities present in single frequency network digital broadcast signals in passive radar. By performing these additional processing steps, the number of ambiguities present in the range Doppler scene will be reduced by approximately one third or a half (situation dependant)...
A model is developed in this paper that simulates polarimetric radar returns from rain and hail at X-Band. To do this, the output data from an open-source meteorological model, namely the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF), and a numerical electromagnetic prediction code based on the Transmission-Matrix (T-Matrix) method are jointly used. Promising results are obtained that are in accordance with...
Avionic Weather Radar is an essential equipment in aircraft. Polarimetry can improve the detection and the classification of hydrometeors and thus the safety and the efficiency of the flight. Here a 3D polarimetric radar simulator for the feasibility study on avionic weather polarimetric radar is presented.
