▼ Synthetic Aperture
Radar (SAR) operation in a
bistatic configuration offers various advantages over its now well-established monostatic counterpart but also poses various challenges, among which are the inversion of the raw
bistatic SAR data into imagery, the maintenance of time and phase synchronisation between the separated transmitter and receiver, the application of interferometric techniques to
bistatic data, and the polarimetric calibration of field-based
bistatic systems in constant motion (particularly those with airborne/spaceborne components). As part of a research programme into the potential benefits and challenges of
bistatic SAR, the Ingara fully polarimetric X-band airborne imaging
radar system, developed and operated by the Australian Defence Science and Technology Organisation, was upgraded to conduct experimental SAR data collections in a
bistatic geometry. Experimental trials of the new
bistatic SAR system were conducted in 2007 and 2008 in which the existing airborne
radar was operated in a fine-resolution (600 MHz bandwidth) circular spotlight-SAR mode, in conjunction with a newly developed fully polarimetric stationary ground-based
bistatic receiver. These trials produced a set of fully polarimetric simultaneously collected monostatic and
bistatic SAR data, collected over a wide range of
bistatic angles, for research purposes. The work reported in this thesis is motivated by the various processing challenges presented by these data sets. Herein, image formation from raw spotlight-mode
bistatic SAR data using the Polar Format Algorithm (PFA), particularly as it pertains to a circling-transmitter-stationary-receiver
bistatic geometry, is discussed. The limitations of the first-order (plane-wave) phase approximation employed in deriving the PFA are examined for the case of a stationary-receiver
bistatic collection geometry with co-planar transmitter, receiver and scatterers: expressions for the size of the focussed region are derived by restricting the magnitude of the second order phase term, and the complicated behaviour of the shape of this region in this
bistatic case (which is not encountered in the monostatic case) is discussed. Fine-resolution imagery results from the PFA-based processing of simultaneously collected monostatic and
bistatic data sets are shown, and results from the interferometric processing of single-pass simultaneously collected monostatic and
bistatic SAR data with a relatively large (approx. 5°) grazing-angle difference and of repeat-pass
bistatic data with a temporal delay of hours, both demonstrating interferometric coherence in the fine-resolution interferograms, are presented. Finally, the polarimetric calibration of a field-based
bistatic SAR with an airborne component is addressed: minor variants of three previously published distributed-target-based polarimetric calibration algorithms are derived; the results of Monte Carlo numerical studies to compare their accuracies are discussed; a new calibration approach involving
a hybrid of two of these algorithms which…

▼ Passive
radar systems use illuminations by transmitters of opportunity, such as
digital audio broadcasts (DAB), to detect and track targets. In
bistatic radar
systems, the transmitting and receiving antennas are separate and widely
spaced. In an era of strong demand for enhanced surveillance, proponents of
passive
bistatic radar (PBR) technology assert that it offers many benefits, in
particular the use of already existing transmitters. PBR systems suffer from
high system complexity however. This presents challenges for PBR designers
and researchers, as testing ideas experimentally is prohibitively expensive.
Direct signal interference (DSI) is a major problem in all passive
radar systems
and occurs when the direct signals transmitted by the illuminators are stronger
than the target return signals. This can lead to a large reduction in the dynamic
range that is available for target detection. DAB networks are particularly
problematic because there are often a large number of illuminators present that
are transmitting virtually identical signals at the same frequency.
This thesis describes the development of a realistic model/simulator for a
general PBR system that can be used to develop
radar algorithms, DSI
mitigation techniques and optimise the design of
radar systems. The simulator
can be applied to multi-transmitter/multi-receiver systems, which allows
researchers to test ideas without building equipment.
In this thesis, a brief introduction is given to PBR, including its history,
challenges and an overview of
radar modelling and simulation. A rudimentary
PBR model is then described and verified by comparison of a simulated
radar
signal produced by the model with that of an off-the-air
radar signal.
The rudimentary model is made more realistic by the addition of more
sophisticated propagation effects, namely, diffraction, multipath and
depolarisation. Further enhancements are made with the development of
radar
cross section and antenna gain components. The model is then used to simulate
a number of realistic scenarios involving typical aircraft flight paths around the
University of Bath in the UK.
Finally, the model is applied to the testing of a DSI mitigation technique,
namely, shielding by topography, using the Bath region as a test case. The
success of the simulation results suggests that the technique can be used in the
Adelaide area of South Australia.
The simulator serves as a virtual multi-static environment for developing
applications such as a tracker. A tracker would need to function in a variety of
situations, and its operation would be affected by factors such as terrain and
DSI. A detailed knowledge of the propagation environment would be necessary
for the development of such a tracker, and the simulator can provide this
knowledge.

▼ The effects of wind farm installation on the conventional monostatic radar operation have been investigated in previous studies. The interference on radar operation is due to the complex scattering characteristics from the wind turbine structure. This research considers alternative approach for studying and potentially mitigating these negative impacts by adapting the multistatic radar system technique. This radar principle is well known and it is attracting research interest recently, but has not been applied in modelling the wind farm interference on multistatic radar detection and tracking of multiple targets. The research proposes two areas of novelties. The first area includes the simulation tool development of multistatic radar operation near a wind farm environment. The second area includes the adaptation of Range-Only target detection approach based on mathematical and/or statistical methods for target detection and tracking, such as Interval Analysis and Particle Filter. These methods have not been applied against such complex detection scenario of large number of targets within a wind farm environment. Range-Only target detection approach is often considered to achieve flexibility in design and reduction in cost and complexity of the radar system. However, this approach may require advanced signal processing techniques to effectively associate measurements from multiple sensors to estimate targets positions. This issue proved to be more challenging for the complex detection environment of a wind farm due to the increase in number of measurements from the complex radar scattering of each turbine. The research conducts a comparison between Interval Analysis and Particle Filter. The comparison is based on the performance of the two methods according to three aspects; number of real targets detected, number of ghost targets detected and the accuracy of the estimated detections. Different detection scenarios are considered for this comparison, such as single target detection, wind farm detection, and ultimately multiple targets at various elevations within a wind farm environment.

▼ Moving target detection with a passive
radar system relies on many competing and coupled variables. When simulating a passive
bistatic radar (PBR) system for ground moving target indication (GMTI) a three-dimensional model is critical. The signal path geometry induced from separating the
radar receiver and transmitter causes several performance effects that change with location.
Since a performance prediction is only as good as the model, the choice of how to model clutter becomes important. Measured data of
bistatic clutter shows that the received clutter power depends on scattering angles. Therefore, a new in-plane out-of-plane (IPOP) interpolation model was developed. The IPOP model causes high clutter returns to reside in regions near an in-plane orientation (forward or backward scattering). The model produces a more localized clutter spectrum in angle-Doppler space when compared to monostatic
radar.
Generally, the stationary transmitter is modeled as a communication emitter due to the availability. These continuous waveforms must be partitioned as pulses spaced at constant intervals over the coherent processing interval (CPI). This diverse pulse train is non-ideal for pulse-Doppler radars. The waveform produces high range sidelobes and causes colored noise to spread in Doppler. It is shown for the first time that these waveform effects can be modeled through a covariance matrix taper (CMT).
Choosing an optimal emitter becomes an interesting problem when multiple emitters are present. A common metric for GMTI when using space-time adaptive processing (STAP) is signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). However, SINR changes based off relative geometries, and GMTI depends on where a target's location and two-dimensional velocity maps into angle-Doppler space. Therefore, average SINR, weighted average SINR, minimum SINR, and usable velocity space fraction (UVSF) are the newly developed metrics proposed for down-selecting to an optimal emitter. The choice of metric is extremely dependent on the scenario.
Finally, in STAP large clutter discretes (LCDs) can cause either false alarms or missed detections. Ultimately, they contaminate the data, and it is very desirable, yet very hard, to remove LCDs. However, the clutter structure in angle-Doppler space for PBR can offer a benefit for removing an LCD. Due to the fact that
bistatic clutter can be more localized in angle-Doppler, the detection and estimation of an LCD can be accomplished for an out-of-plane geometry. Then the LCD can be successfully removed from the data, and new application of spectral estimation techniques have been developed for this purpose.

▼ This dissertation examines the wavenumber domain of Synthetic Aperture
Radar (SAR) images. This domain is the inverse Fourier transform domain of a SAR image. The dissertation begins with the
radar receiver's signal model and develops equations describing the wavenumber domain of a SAR image produced by a generalized
bistatic and monostatic SAR system.
Then, closed form expressions for
bistatic synthetic aperture
radar spatial resolution of a generalized system from the wavenumber domain are developed. These spatial resolution equations have not previously appeared in the literature. From these equations, significant resolution is found in both range and cross-range forecasting a forward-scatter
bistatic SAR image when the elevation angles of each
bistatic platform are significantly different.
Next, wavenumber and time domain image formation algorithms are discussed. Developed within this dissertation is a wavenumber preprocessing method that increases the speed of the Back Projection Algorithm (BPA). This preprocessing method takes advantage of deramped SAR
radar returns and their polar wavenumber format. This new algorithm is called the Fast Decimated Wavenumber Back Projection Algorithm (FDWBPA). Matlab functions are included to implement this algorithm, simulate
bistatic SAR images and process the data from anechoic chamber tests demonstrating forward scatter resolution.

▼ Stereo Thermo-Optically Enhanced Radar for Earth, Ocean, Ice, and land Dynamics (STEREOID) is one of the candidates of the ESA (European Space Agency) , Earth Explorer 10 missions. The novel constellation system will consist of the active Sentinel-1 satellites and two passive spacecrafts, which can provide flexible baseline configurations. The main objective of the mission lies in monitoring the variation of spatially diverse ice sheets, the eruptions of earthquakes, the volcano activities, and the landslides, playing therefore an extremely important role in understanding the global climate dynamics and the geophysical processes involved. The purpose of the thesis is to develop an end-to-end simulator incorporating the STEREOID bistatic configuration operating in TOPS ( Terrain Observation by Progressive Scans) mode and evaluate its performance. To achieve this goal, the key component of the simulator, the SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) processing kernel was first implemented. The kernel employs an imaging algorithm which assists in image formation and focusing for different bistatic geometries generated by relevant working modes of the STEREOID mission. This is further extended to bistatic TOPS acquisition mode with azimuth beamforming under dual antenna receiver configuration of STEREOID. The performance of STEREOID mission is evaluated under different bistatic geometries and the dual beamforming strategy is evaluated for parameters such as resolution, pointing errors and gain imbalances. This is evaluated to analyse and understand the importance of calibration errors introduced into the system.

▼ The aim of this research is to use observations of Very High Frequency (VHF) radio wave propagation to estimate the refractive index of air over a propagation path and subsequently the pressure, temperature, and water vapour. This can be accomplished by transmitting a known signal from one spatial location to another, and accurately timing the signal. The research develops methods for accomplishing the required measurements by means of a passive
bistatic radar setup with a cooperative target. Such an approach overcomes the timing problems that are normally associated with propagation measurements. A network of these measurements can then be assimilated into a numerical weather prediction model, such as that used by the Australia Bureau of Meteorology, to increase weather forecast capability. Importantly, this research develops novel techniques to relate the propagation of radio waves from weather data. These techniques are important in their own right to identify true propagation paths.

▼ The goal of this research is to develop a method that
allows for the processing of
bistatic modified non-coherent marine
radar’s signals coherently, for the purpose of the warfare and
electronic protection. Since the marine
radar transmit signal is a
non-coherent signal, it makes it difficult for the jammer to
deceive the
radar. Each marine
radar is physically modified to work
coherently and then configured to form
bistatic radar. In this
work, a method is presented for coherent processing of signals from
a
bistatic magnetron oscillator based marine
radar. The feasibility
of this approach was previously demonstrated for a monostatic
radar
through a hardware modification that allowed for capture of data
and processing in PC. It is demonstrated here that operating two
radars in this manner and combining their resulting signals allows
for an improvement in overall detection and tracking. Our approach
works by sampling the transmitted and received signals at each
radar. Cross-correlations between all four combinations of
transmitted and received signals are used to demonstrate the limits
due to mutual interference in a
bistatic/multistatic system of
radars. This processing is successfully demonstrated in software,
showing the potential for coherency between two marine radars. In
general,
bistatic coherent radars are very expensive, and this work
provides a method for achieving the equivalent coherent performance
using two modified non-coherent
radar systems.

▼ Multi-channel wideband
radar has proven to be an
indispensable tool for many surveillance applications. However,
achieving higher resolution with current architectures comes at the
cost of lower dynamic range for the sensor. Recent theoretical
advances in the area of compressive sensing provide a new framework
for sampling and processing sensor signals at a rate that scales
with the information content and complexity of the scene. For the
case of delay estimation - a core problem in
radar sensing -
compressive sensing provides a theoretical guarantee for successful
recovery using Klog (N/K) compressed measurements of K scatterers
over a delay space of N bins. Previous practical implementations of
compressive sampling
radar attempted to reduce sampling complexity
at the expense of increased complexity in receivers realizing
unstructured random projections. In this thesis, we study the
problem of developing structured acquisition systems that exploit
the underlying structure of
radar signals to provide provable
performance guarantees and reduced design complexity .Broadly, our
work is divided into two parts. In the first part, we present a
compressive
radar design that employs structured waveforms on
transmit and reduced complexity sub-sampling on receive with
recovery guarantees of target parameters at sub-Nyquist rates. The
proposed framework lends itself to practical hardware
implementation as it utilizes standard linear frequency modulated
waveforms mixed with sinusoidal tones and receivers with an
approximated matched filter termed as stretch processor and a
uniform sampling rate Analog to digital converter (ADC). Also, this
structure simplifies the calibration step in practical systems
because the number of random elements is minimized. We extend this
illumination approach to a multiple input and output (MIMO)
radar
architecture and establish uniform as well as non-uniform recovery
guarantees, given a sufficient number of modulating tones. We also
present a method for calibrating the system for a class of
uncertainty that arises in practical implementations.In the second
part, we consider wide-angle synthetic aperture
radar (SAR) imaging
with collocated transmitter and receiver. Wide-angle SAR plays a
key role in solving the target recognition problem as this scheme
obtains a detailed description of the scene as a function of both
viewing angle and spatial coordinates. We recover the scattering
coefficients as a function of spatial locations and viewing angle
from incomplete and noisy measurements. We classify an observed
sub-sequence of phase-history measurements based on the nearest
neighbor method using the models obtained. We empirically verify
the performance of such an approach by utilizing the probability of
error as a metric. We note that the performance does not
deteriorate as long as we have a sufficient number of samples. We
extend this method to the
bistatic setup with separated transmitter
and receiver to recover the scattering coefficients as a function
of the spatial locations,
bistatic angle, and…

▼ Global Navigation Satellite Systems Reflectometry (GNSS-R) has shown that multipath interference signals offer an opportunity for passive devices to make measurements of the soil moisture, snow pack depth, and other quantities of scientific interest here on Earth. We expand upon this technique and propose that X-band microwave telecom signals can similarly be used to infer the sub-surface dielectric profile of the Earth, Mars, and other planetary bodies. The dielectric profile may reveal changes in the soil water content, the depth of a layer of sand, thickness of a layer of ice, and identify a subsurface layer of brine. We have created a numerical ray-tracing model to understand the potential of different microwave frequencies to probe the subsurface, to understand the trade between different polarizations, and to understand the sensitivity to changes in incidence angle and surface roughness features. This model has been validated through laboratory experiments using controlled layered beds of sand and bedrock. And finally, the model is used to extrapolate how this technique may be applied to future Mars missions.
Here we present new results demonstrating how to characterize a multipath interference pattern as a function of frequency and/or incidence angle to measure the thickness of a dielectric layer of sand or ice. Our results demonstrate that dielectric discontinuities in the subsurface can be measured using X-band
bistatic radar to effectively measure the thickness of a dielectric layer in the proximity of a landed spacecraft. In the case of an orbiter, we believe this technique would be effective at measuring the seasonal thickness of CO2 ice in the polar regions and potentially identify the presence of brines underneath that ice. This is exciting because our method can produce results similar to traditional ground penetrating
radar without the need to have an active
radar transmitter onboard the spacecraft. It is possible that future telecommunications systems can serve as both a radio and a scientific instrument, thereby reducing the mass and power required for future interplanetary missions.

Classification and Modeling of Human Activities Using Empirical Mode Decomposition with S-Band and Millimeter-Wave Micro-Doppler Radars.

▼ The ability to identify human movements can be an important tool in many different applications such as surveillance, military combat situations, search and rescue operations, and patient monitoring in hospitals. This information can provide soldiers, security personnel, and search and rescue workers with critical knowledge that can be used to potentially save lives and/or avoid a dangerous situation. Most research involving human activity recognition is focused on using
the Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) as a method of analyzing the micro-Doppler signatures. Because of the time-frequency resolution limitations of the STFT and because Fourier transform-based methods are not well-suited for use with non-stationary and nonlinear signals, we have chosen a diff�erent approach for classification. Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) has been shown to be a
valuable time-frequency method for processing non-stationary and nonlinear data such as micro-Doppler signatures and EMD readily provides a feature vector that can be utilized for classification. For classification, the method of a Support Vector Machine (SVM) was chosen. SVMs have been widely used as a method of pattern recognition due to their ability to generalize well and also because of their moderately simple implementation. In this dissertation, we discuss the ability of these methods to accurately identify human movements based on their micro-Doppler signatures obtained from S-band and millimeter-wave
radar systems. Comparisons will also be made based on experimental results from each of these
radar systems. Furthermore, we will present simulations of micro-Doppler movements for stationary subjects that will enable us to compare our experimental Doppler data to what we would expect from an "ideal" movement.
The Doppler radars that were developed for human activity classification consisted of a transmitter and a single receiver that are colocated in a quasi-monostatic con�figuration. Thus, only the radial component of the target's velocity produces a Doppler signal. If the target is moving tangentially to the
radar line of sight, Doppler signals cannot be detected. To remedy this, multiple
bistatic radars can
be utilized so that if one receiver does not detect Doppler, the other will. In addition to providing more information for classification purposes, multiple Doppler sensors can also be employed to determine a moving target's orientation by comparing the Doppler frequency shift at each sensor. The algorithm developed here uses the relationship between the Doppler frequencies measured at each sensor to determine the oscillation angle of the target. Experiments have been performed which show excellent agreement with simulations for both the mechanical motion of a swinging pendulum and also for simple human motions. These capabilities are discussed in detail and the experimental results are shown for a micro-Doppler
radar system with a single transmitter and two receivers. Classification results
using a 2-sensor micro-Doppler
radar are be presented.

▼ The purpose of this project is to find out whether it is possible to use the cell phone system as a bistatic radar system. Would it be, a small and easy to handle radar would be available and possibly replace the systems of today in aircrafts, ships and other vehicles. Or it could form a great supportive tool in optimizing the cell phone networks. The bistatic radar is hard to implement, but a perfect way to create radar that is really hard to knock out in case of war for example. In the cell phone system, there is already a structure that might be possible to use for this purpose. The result showed it is possible to create a radar using the cell phone system, though more investigation needs to be done to get better functionality in the system. In this report, one possible way to create a cell phone based radar, will be introduced and analyzed.

▼ There is an increasing interest in operating radars in
bistatic configuration, especially in military and stealth
applications, to exploit the covert nature of
bistatic receivers.
Given that a radar’s detection performance is limited by the vast
amount of natural and man-made clutter, rather than noise, it is
imperative to design reliable detectors. In order to design such
detectors, the statistical characteristics of the clutter need to
be taken into account. In this thesis, experiments were carried out
in the X-band to gather land clutter data in simultaneous
monostatic and
bistatic configurations. The data so gathered was
processed and analyzed to evaluate the statistics of
bistatic land
clutter and to understand their variation as a function of
bistatic
angle. Comparison of the
bistatic clutter statistics to the
monostatic counterparts were also made. The amplitude statistics
show that for
bistatic angles between 2° and 30°, clutter fits the
log-normal distribution, with µ varying between 0.95 and 1.35, and
a nearly constant ς of 0.75. For
bistatic angles 14° and lower, the
clutter is also well modeled by a K-distribution with shape
parameter between 1 and 3; and also by Weibull distribution with
shape parameter between 1.4 and 1.7, scale parameter between 3.6
and 4.5. The low
bistatic angle case tends to the monostatic case.
The monostatic clutter, was also best modeled using Weibull and the
K-distributions, with mean shape parameters of 1.55 and 2.7
respectively, and mean Weibull scale parameter of 4.4. The shape
parameter for the K-distribution and the Weibull distribution were
lower for higher
bistatic angles and tended to the mean value of
the monostatic shape parameter as the
bistatic angle was reduced to
the monostatic case suggesting that the
bistatic clutter is spikier
than the monostatic.

▼ Recent developments in unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV) technology are spurring new interest in the fields of
bistatic and multistatic synthetic aperture
radar (SAR). This
dissertation develops the theory necessary to extract useful
information from
bistatic and multistatic SAR phase history data.
The approach taken in this work involves generalization of several
existing monostatic SAR signal processing
algorithms. A model for
bistatic SAR data
collection is introduced, and based on this model, a maximum
likelihood algorithm for nonparametric scene reconstruction, or
image formation, is proposed. This method is commonly known as
matched filtering. By deriving a
bistatic far-field assumption, the
matched filtering algorithm may be approximated by a
bistatic
formulation of the common polar format algorithm. The polar format
algorithm has complexity
<i>O</i>(<i>N</i>
2log
2<i>N</i>),
versus the
<i>O</i>(<i>N</i>
4)
complexity of the matched filtering
algorithm. The effect of platform motion
measurement errors on
bistatic SAR imagery are examined.
Requirements on inertial navigation accuracy are derived, and it is
shown that autofocus algorithms for monostatic SAR may applied to
properly formatted
bistatic SAR data. Design of nonlinear receiver
flight paths, with the goal of preserving and reconstructing
three-dimensional scene information, is considered. Parametric
models for the three-dimensional
bistatic responses from canonical
scattering centers are proposed and validated against
high-frequency simulation results. Lastly, algorithms for
three-dimensional surface reconstruction from multistatic SAR data
are proposed, based on existing theory for monostatic stereo SAR
and interferometric processing. A theoretical framework for
predicting the performance of these algorithms is
suggested.

▼ L’étude traite de la détection de cibles mobiles dans un contexte de radar passif bistatique utilisant les émetteursde télévision numérique TNT (DVB-T) comme émetteurs d’opportunité. Outre leur présence généralisée sur leterritoire, l’intérêt de ces émissions réside dans leur relative largeur de bande permettant une bonne précisiond’estimation. Le principal inconvénient de ce type d’approche réside dans l’éblouissement par le signal en trajetdirect, des échos de très faible intensité des cibles d’intérêt. Après un rappel du principe du radar bistatique etde la norme OFDM utilisée par les signaux TNT, une première étude donne une construction originale du signalde référence dans le cas multi-capteurs : le signal de référence est construit par un traitement d’antenne de typeCAPON où le balayage des paramètres optimaux est remplacé par la connaissance de signaux pilotes inséré dansles symboles OFDM. Ensuite le rapport se focalise sur l’estimation d’un filtre de canal multitrajet à partir dela connaissance de la modulation OFDM utilisée. Ce filtre, d’abord étudié comme réjecteur de fouillis originalavant détection par la fonction d’ambiguïté, donne des résultats semblables aux méthodes classiques de réjectionde fouillis standard. Étendu à toutes les fréquences Doppler, son module au carré est utilisé comme un nouveaudétecteur présentant un très faible niveau de clutter, surpassant ainsi la fonction d’ambiguïté. Une interprétationen terme de traitement d’antennes du nouveau détecteur ouvre la voie à des variantes haute-résolution de celui-ci.La validité du nouveau détecteur est illustrée par des résultats sur données réelles.
The study focuses on moving target detection from passive bistatic radar with DVB-T transmitters used asopportunity transmitters. In addition to their widespread geographical coverage, they allow a good estimationaccuracy due to their quite large bandpass. Nevertheless the continuous powerful direct path masks the verylow intensity echoes of targets of interest. The passive bistatic radar principle and the CP-OFDM standardused by DVB-T are briefly reminded, then, a new first study of reference signal retrieving in multiple sensorsconfiguration is given : the reference signal is built using a Capon receptor where the parameters scan is replacedby the knowledge of pilot signals inserted in the OFDM symbols. Next, the report addresses the multipath channelestimate by using the OFDM signal structure. This channel is firstly studied for clutter rejection before detectionfrom the cross ambiguity function (CAF). We obtain similar results than those of the classical rejection methods.This channel is extended to the whole Doppler shift, and its squared modulus acts as a new low clutter detectorthat outperforms classical CAF. A virtual beamforming interpretation of the channel estimation opens a new pathtowards high resolution array processing. Results given on real data illustrate the validity of this new channeldetector (CHAD).

▼ The aim of this thesis is to estimate parameters of the moving target using different
radar configurations. First the Doppler effect and the time delay of the received signal is examined. The investigation of these phenomenons is made for radial and non-radial movement of simple monostatic
radar configuration and after that for the
bistatic and multistatic MIMO configuration. The ambiguity function is presented for all these configurations. The ambiguity function is then used to estimate target parameters from the received signal. The received signal model and ambiguity function for the monostatic
radar configuration is developed using Matlab software. Finally the practical use of these implementations is presented and compared.

▼ A passive
radar systems opportunistic ability to exploit ambient radio signal reflections makes it ideal for covert target tracking. This strategy, referred to as passive covert
radar (PCR) or passive coherent location (PCL), typically exploits FM radio or television signals from powerful local transmitters. In addition to covertness, the absence of a dedicated transmitter helps reduce costs and overall system complexity. While a variety of measurements can be used to estimate a targets position and velocity, such as time difference of arrival (TDOA) and direction of arrival (DOA), this thesis focuses on using only Doppler shift measurements to estimate a targets state.
The work presented in this thesis examines the use of Doppler shift measurements from multiple receivers to solve the target tracking and association problem. A nonlinear least squares error (NLSE) estimation technique, called the Levenberg-Marquardt (L-M) algorithm, is used to determine a targets state (position, velocity) from these Doppler shift measurements. More than one target state can potentially produce identical Doppler shift profiles. In a single-receiver, single-target scenario, it is shown that three additional ghost targets caused by symmetry produce the same Doppler shift response. These ghosts may make state estimation impossible if receive antennas are not physically positioned to block out ghost targets. While the NLSE technique tends to give an accurate solution in one quadrant, three other solutions will symmetrically exist in each of the remaining three quadrants. The addition of either another receiver or another measurement (such as DOA) is needed to break this quadrant ambiguity. This thesis considers adding multiple receivers to accurately associate and track multiple targets. Two target association methods (sequential and simultaneous) are developed, and their computational requirements and accuracy are compared. A grid-aided L-M search technique is investigated in an attempt to provide a better initial target state guess to these association and tracking algorithms.
The analysis and simulation results suggest it is feasible to perform multi-target association and tracking using Doppler shift as the sole measurement. Both of the proposed methods gave optimal target association and converged to reasonably accurate state estimates in most of the Monte Carlo runs.

▼ GPS passive
bistatic radar uses signals transmitted by navigation satellites to perform target detection. This research aims to develop a ground-based receiver that detects the reflected GPS signals from air targets. The main challenge for GPS
bistatic radar is the difficulty in detecting the extremely weak power GPS signal reflections from a target since GPS satellites are located at very high altitudes and transmit signals at relatively low power levels. The research in this thesis investigates the minimum power of the reflected GPS signal that can be reliably detected by applying several techniques for enhancing the receiver detection performance. The proposed techniques for GPS
bistatic radar target detection model include: using a large scale antenna array at the receiver, applying long coherent integration times for the captured data and non-coherently summing the power returns of targets from multiple satellites or receivers. This detection model requires the
radar system to incorporate the signal information from a large number of receiving channels and non-cooperative transmitters to perform air target detection. This research also incorporates additional techniques at the pre-detection stage that are essential for the target detection model. Among these techniques include: direct-path GPS signals acquisition that obtains the Doppler frequency component and C/A code pattern from each satellite, array calibration that realigns the inter-element phase errors and orientation of phased-array receiver using the GPS system, and direct-path signal interference cancellation. The GPS
bistatic radar target detection performance was initially investigated using the results produced by computer simulations. Then, a prototype phased-array GPS
bistatic radar receiver was built to capture target reflections from an aircraft and investigate the detection performance of the system experimentally. The system was able to successfully detect and locate the position of a nearby aircraft, which demonstrates that the techniques introduced for GPS
bistatic radar in this thesis do work in practice. The experimental results also provide a benchmark that can be used to estimate the scale of the receiver required for detecting objects at a greater distance.

▼ Automated rendezvous and docking (AR&D;) operations are important for many future space missions, such as the resupply of space stations, repair and refueling of large satellites, and active removal of orbital debris. These operations depend critically on accurate, real-time knowledge of the relative position and velocity between two space vehicles. Unfortunately, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) capabilities remain severely limited in close proximity to large space structures due to significant multipath effects and signal blockage. Although GNSS is used for the initial stages of approach, other instruments such as laser,
radar and vision-based systems, are required to augment GNSS during AR&D; over the last few hundred meters.
This dissertation evaluates the feasibility of GNSS multipath-based relative space navigation. Methods for separating and interpreting reflected signals are demonstrated using GNSS data collected during Hubble Servicing Mission 4 (HSM4), a model of the mission geometry, electromagnetic (EM) ray tracing, and a custom GNSS software receiver. EM ray tracing is used to show that a number of signals sufficient for ranging are reflected by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) during HSM4, and the properties of these reflections are used to generate simulated GNSS data. The impact of reflected signals on code correlation shape, code tracking error, and pseudorange measurement is demonstrated using the simulated and experimental data.
Relative navigation is demonstrated using simulated reflected signal measurements and the dependence of relative navigation on the reflecting object’s scattering properties is illustrated. From the tracking of data from two oppositely polarized antennas, both simulated and experimental, it is determined that multipath measurements are limited by system properties such as antenna polarization quality and front end bandwidth. Design considerations involved in optimizing a receiver to measure reflected signals are discussed.

▼ This thesis presents wearable health monitors that are based on continuous-wave Doppler
radar technology. To achieve low complexity, low power consumption and simultaneous wireless transmission of Doppler information, the
radar architecture is
bistatic with a self-injection-locked oscillator (SILO) tag and an injection-locked oscillator (ILO)-based frequency demodulator. In experiments with a prototype that was operated in the Medical Body Area Network (MBAN) and the Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands from 2.36 to 2.484 GHz, the actuator with a metal plate is used to perform a linear movement with adjustable displacement. First, the SILO tag is attached to the metal and measures the acceleration of actuator from forth to back,then the SILO tag is attached to the chest of a
subject to transform the movement of the chest due to cardiopulmonary activity and body exercise into a transmitted frequency modulated wave.The ILO-based frequency demodulator, located 30 cm away from the
subject, receives and processes this wave to yield the waveform that is associated with the movement of the chest. Following further digital signal processing, the cardiopulmonary activity and body exercise are displayed as time-frequency spectrograms.Promisingly, the experimental results that are presented in this thesis reveal that the proposed health monitor has high potential to integrate a cardiopulmonary sensor, a pedometer and a wireless transmission device on a single
radar platform.

▼ L’étude de la diffusion des ondes électromagnétiques par une surface rugueuse aléatoire est de première importance dans de nombreuses disciplines et conduit à diverses applications notamment pour le traitement des surfaces par télédétection. En connaissant les modes de rétrodiffusion, on peut détecter la présence de la rugosité aléatoire indésirable de la surface de réflection telle que le réflecteur d'antenne et par conséquent trouver un moyen de corriger ou compenser les erreurs de phase. Cette thèse porte sur l’obtention de l'humidité du sol de surface à partir de mesures radar. La description de la surface rugueuse de façon aléatoire est présentée, suivie par les interactions d'ondes électromagnétiques avec les média. En particulier, un modèle d'équation intégrale avancé (AIEM) est introduit. La validité du modèle AIEM, qui est adopté comme modèle de travail, se fait par une large comparaison avec des simulations numériques et des données expérimentales. On analyse également les caractéristiques des configurations radar bistatique et on étudie la sensibilité de la diffusion bistatique à l'humidité du sol et à la rugosité de surface et, dans le même temps, le cadre de la détermination de l'humidité du sol à partir de mesures radar utilisant un réseau de neurones à base de filtres de Kalman récurrents est présenté. La formation du réseau et l'inversion des données sont décrits.
Electromagnetic waves scattering from a randomly rough surface is of palpable importance in many fields of disciplines and bears itself in various applications spanned from surface treatment to remote sensing of terrain and sea. By knowing the backscattering patterns, one may detect the presence of the undesired random roughness of the reflection surface such as antenna reflector and accordingly devise a means to correct or compensate the phase errors. Therefore, it has been both theoretically and practically necessary to study the electromagnetic wave scattering from the random surfaces. This dissertation focuses on the retrieval of surface soil moisture from radar measurements. The description of the randomly rough surface is presented, followed by the electromagnetic wave interactions with the media. In particular, an advanced integral equation model (AIEM) is introduced. The validity of the AIEM model, which is adopted as a working model, is made by extensive comparison with numerical simulations and experimental data. Also analyzes the characteristics of the bistatic radar configurations and dissects the sensitivity of bistatic scattering to soil moisture and surface roughness of soil surfaces. Meanwhile presents a framework of soil moisture retrieval from radar measurements using a recurrent Kalman filter-based neural network. The network training and data inversion are described in detail.

▼ Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) plays a significant role in geophysical studies and remote sensing applications. SAR inherits the benefits of imaging RADAR over the other optical sensors such as working in all weather conditions and working independently of sunlight. In addition to these benefits SAR generates a finer resolution 2-D image compared to conventional (real) aperture radar. Due to the sole merits of Ultrawideband-Ultrawidebeam (UWB) Bistatic SAR, this thesis introduces and analyzes a fast time domain algorithm for its image formation. This algorithm inherits the advantages of time-domain algorithms over frequency domain ones. It divides the full synthetic aperture into subapertures. Each subaperture generates a polar grid image. The key point is that the subaperture polar images have very low resolution in cross range (the angular direction); this means that they can be calculated on a pixel grid that is coarse in the angular direction. The final image is obtained by combining all subaperture polar images after converting them to the final high-resolution Cartesian image, in this conversion interpolation is used. Since the subaperture images contain far fewer pixels in cross range than the final image, far fewer operations are required to be executed as compared to Global Backprojection GBP. Due to using the polar grid, the proposed algorithm is named Bistatic Polar-FBP (Bi-PFBP). It is found that although for N×N scene image with N aperture positions the Bi-PFBP computational load is less by approximately a factor of √N as compared to GBP, the image quality generated by each one of them is almost the same.

▼ A common way to measure height in aerial vehicles is to use a radar height altimeter (RHM). Since the RHM transmits radar pulses that can be detected, a passive alternative would be desirable in military applications. The idea to use reflected signals from the Global Positioning System (GPS) as a bistatic radar, has been established over the last years. The GPS signals are already present and would not reveal aeroplanes in covert operations. In this thesis, the use of reflected GPS signals as a bistatic, passive altimeter is examined. A simulation model has been developed and implemented, and simulations using the model have been done. Different types of ground cover have been investigated, both water and land types, with varying reflectivity and scattering behaviour. For larger terrain variations, e.g. mountains and valleys, a ground elevation database has been used. Furthermore, several parameters, like the antenna coverage and the satellite elevation angle, have been varied and the result of this examined. The results of these simulations show that measuring height is possible for bothsea and land surfaces. The accuracy depends on several error factors, like a bias originating from surface roughness and measurement errors due to noise in the receiver. The simulations also show that the most important design parameter is the antenna, which must be designed to give a sufficiently large SNR, capture the specular reflection and avoid unwanted reflections.

▼ Dans cette thèse, nous présentons la conception, le développement et le test de trois systèmes de reconnaissance automatique de cibles (ATR) visant à reconnaître des avions non-coopératifs, c’est-à-dire des avions ne fournissant par leur identité, en utilisant des signaux de radars passifs bistatiques. Les radars passifs bistatiques utilisent un ou plusieurs émetteurs d’opportunité (déjà présents sur le terrain), avec des fréquences allant jusqu’à 1 GHz pour les émetteurs considérés ici, et un ou plusieurs récepteurs déployés par le gestionnaire du système et non-colocalisés avec les émetteurs. Les seules informations utilisées sont les signaux réfléchis sur les avions et les signaux directement reçus qui sont tous les deux collectés par le récepteur, quelques informations concernant l’émetteur, et la configuration géométrique du
radar bistatique.Les trois systèmes ATR que nous avons construits utilisent respectivement les images
radar, les surfaces équivalentes
radar (SER) complexes bistatiques et les SER réelles bistatiques. Nous utilisons des données acquises soit sur des modèles d’avions placés en chambre anéchoique à l’ONERA, soit sur des avions réels en utilisant un banc d’essai bistatique consistant en un émetteur VOR et un récepteur basé sur la radio-logicielle (SDR), et que nous avons déployé aux alentours de l’aéroport d’Orly. Nous décrivons d’abord la phénoménologie
radar pertinente pour notre problème ainsi que les fondements mathématiques pour la dérivation de la SER bistatique d’un objet, et pour la construction d’images
radar d’un objet.Nous utilisons deux méthodes pour la classification de cibles en classes prédéfinies : les arbres extrêmement aléatoires (extra-trees) et les méthodes de sous-espaces. Une caractéristique-clé de notre approche est que nous divisons le problème de reconnaissance global en un ensemble de sous-problèmes par décomposition de l’espace des paramètres (fréquence, polarisation, angle d’aspect et angle bistatique) en régions. Nous construisons un classificateur par région.Nous validons en premier lieu la méthode des extra-trees sur la base de données MSTAR, composée d’images
radar de véhicules terrestres. Ensuite, nous testons cette méthode sur des images
radar d’avions que nous avons construites à partir des données acquises en chambre anéchoique. Nous obtenons un pourcentage de classification allant jusqu’à 99%. Nous testons ensuite la méthode de sous-espaces sur les SER bistatiques (complexes et réelles) des avions que nous avons extraits des données de chambre anéchoique. Nous obtenons un pourcentage de classification allant jusqu’à 98%, avec des variations suivant la fréquence, la polarisation, l’angle d’aspect, l’angle bistatique et le nombre de paires émetteur-récepteur utilisées. Nous testons enfin la méthode de sous-espaces sur les SER bistatiques (réelles) extraites des signaux acquis par le banc d’essai déployé à Orly. Nous obtenons une probabilité de classification de 82%, avec des variations suivant l’angle d’aspect et l’angle bistatique. On a donc démontré dans…

▼ Chirp signals arise in many applications of digital signal processing. In this dissertation, we address the problem of detection of chirp signals that are encountered in a bistatic radar which we are developing for remote sensing of cosmic ray induced air showers. The receivedechoes from the air showers are characterized by their large Doppler shift (several tens of MHz), and very short sweep period (~ 10 ^s). This makes our astrophysical problem a challenging one, since a very short sweep period is equivalent to a very low energy chirpsignal. Furthermore, the related parameters of the received echoes are nondeterministic since they are tied to the physical parameters of the air showers that are stochastic in nature. In addition, our problem is characterized by the rarity of the expected chirp-echoesto be received, few events per week, and thus, background noise reception is the case most of the time. The primary focus of this research is to address these challenges and find an optimized detection approach under the existing receiver environment which containsnon-Gaussian noise and is characterized by low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Matched filters are commonly used in radar systems when the chirp signal is known. Inour first method, we revisit this context and use a matched filter as a basis of building a rake-like receiver that consists of a set of filters matched to quantized chirp rates, logarithmically distributed within the chirp-rate interval of interest. We examine the detection capability of the proposed structure through extensive theoretical and numerical analysis. Theoreticalanalysis and simulation results prove that the proposed detector has high detection capability for a range of chirp slopes in a low SNR environment.A major source of false-alarms was found to be due to sudden noise spikes that cover wide frequency bands. These transient signals have high amplitudes and occur at random time instants. This leads to erroneous detection decision. We study the influence of amplitudelimiting the noisy signal on reducing the received false-alarms and enhancing the detection performance of the proposed rake-like receiver.In our second method, we use Hough transform (HT), which is widely used in the area of image processing for the purpose of finding parameterized patterns, as a basis of building a robust detection technique. We examine the detection capability of the proposed structure through theoretical and numerical analysis. Our results prove that the proposed detector has high detection capability for a range of chirp slopes in a low SNR environment.The introduced detection algorithms are implemented over a Virtex-5 FPGA. National Instruments modules are used as a high-performance custom hardware. Due to rarity of received echoes, we emulate the expected radar echoes to evaluate the system performance.The detection performance of the emulated echoes is examined using the implemented receiver at the field. Also, we compare the performance of both detectors.

▼ The U.S Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite based navigation system that provides worldwide coverage. Typical use of the system includes positioning and timing. However, it can be used for other applications such as GPS bistatic radar, which in turn can be used for altimetry by calculating the delay between the direct and the reflected signal. It can also be used as a passive system (no user transmitted Radio Frequency, RF, energy) for remote sensing. The basic principle for GPS bistatic radar is that by using two receivers, one for direct and one for ground reflected GPS signals, differential processing can be performed to extract more information than just the position. By analysing the shape and the relative power of the reflected signal, information about the reflection surface can be acquired. To perform this kind of science with GPS, normal receivers can not be used since they lack the flexibility and low-level output that is critical for this kind of processing. The receiver for the reflected signal requires many correlators, in order to see a wide time window, while a typical GPS receiver only has two correlators per channel. Having multiple correlators also gives other advantages, with a narrow spacing there is less tracking jitter and better correlation peak resolution. A larger number of Automatic Gain Control (AGC) bits, 4 or more, than what is typically used for position, one or two, is also good in order to increase resolution. If a sampling receiver is used, in other words a receiver that outputs Intermediate Frequency (IF) samples, very large data files are created during each experiment. Processing these files in software can be very time-consuming so there is a need for hardware acceleration. To implement a large number of correlators for an experimental real-time receiver or processing module there is only one option and that is Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) design. This design is based on the Wildcard II from Annapolis Microsystems, it is a PCMCIA card with a FPGA that connects to the PCI bus of the host computer and thus allows for communication between host and logic. The design is of a parallel nature and therefore provides a significant increase in performance compared to software processing.
