摘要： This letter is concerned with experimental results of aircraft positioning by using terrestrial digital broadcasting signal delay. Passive bistatic radar (PBR) is expected to be a conventional primary surveillance radar alternative, and it can also achieve expanding coverage area of the conventional radar. The PBR sensors allow the detection and tracking of noncooperative targets illuminated by transmitters of opportunity such as communication systems [digital terrestrial television broadcasting (DTTB), AM/FM, 3G/LTE base stations, etc.] or conventional radar system. Especially, the DTTB signals are the most expected radio waves. In this letter, we show experimental results of aircraft positioning by using the signal delay profile of DTTB whose type is Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting–Terrestrial (ISDB-T) used in Japan. It will be shown that the ISDB-T signal delays are useful surveillance systems.

Radar cross-section of pedestrians in the low-THz band
摘要： Low-terahertz (THz) (above 150?GHz) radar sensing is one of the promising technologies to provide safe navigation for autonomous cars due to its expected high-resolution imaging capability. It is anticipated that for robust operation at high levels of autonomy the sensor suite should provide a fusion of video and radar data and its efficiency depends on radar ability to deliver a resolution high enough to be compatible with that of the optical image. Performance of low-THz radar, capable to deliver required resolution, is considered in this study, with the focus on reflectivities of pedestrians at frequencies within the low-THz region – 150 and 300?GHz. Backscatter returns are collected in a controlled environment at a number of frequency bands and at different aspect angles. Measurement methodology is presented and several indicators of reflectivities are calculated. Results are compared with values of radar cross-section reported for current automotive frequency standards 24 and 77?GHz. The effect of clothing on reflectivities is also considered in this study.

Wavelength- and Intensity-Demodulated Dual-Wavelength Fiber Laser Sensor for Simultaneous RH and Temperature Detection
摘要： In a typical radar system, the same hypothesis testing problem is periodically repeated to constantly monitor the scene: this results in a fundamental tradeoff between integration time and scan rate. In this paper, we propose a novel design criterion for radar systems, which carefully balances the contrasting requirements for a large probability of detection, a small probability of false alarm, and a short scan time. In particular, our goal is to maximize the detection rate, defined as the average number of detections per unit of time, under a constraint on the false alarm rate, defined as the average number of false alarms per unit of time. Some examples modeling situations commonly encountered in the radar applications are presented to illustrate the effects of this design philosophy.

摘要： Hidden Markov models (HMMs) have previously been successfully applied to subsurface threat detection using ground penetrating radar (GPR) data. However, parameter estimation in most HMM-based landmine detection approaches is difficult since object locations are typically well known for the 2-D coordinates on the Earth's surface but are not well known for object depths underneath the ground/time of arrival in a GPR A-scan. As a result, in a standard expectation maximization HMM (EM-HMM), all depths corresponding to a particular alarm location may be labeled as target sequences although the characteristics of data from different depths are substantially different. In this paper, an alternate HMM approach is developed using a multiple-instance learning (MIL) framework that considers an unordered set of HMM sequences at a particular alarm location, where the set of sequences is defined as positive if at least one of the sequences is a target sequence; otherwise, the set is defined as negative. Using the MIL framework, a collection of these sets (bags), along with their labels is used to train the target and nontarget HMMs simultaneously. The model parameters are inferred using variational Bayes, making the model tractable and computationally efficient. Experimental results on two synthetic and two landmine data sets show that the proposed approach performs better than a standard EM-HMM.

Lower Power, Better Uniformity, and Stability CBRAM Enabled by Graphene Nanohole Interface Engineering
摘要： With the steadily increasing spatial resolution of synthetic aperture radar images, the need for a consistent but locally adaptive image enhancement rises considerably. Numerous studies already showed that adaptive multilooking, able to adjust the degree of smoothing locally to the size of the targets, is superior to uniform multilooking. This study introduces a novel approach of multiscale and multidirectional multilooking based on intensity images exclusively but applicable to an arbitrary number of image layers. A set of 2-D circular and elliptical filter kernels in different scales and orientations (named Schmittlets) is derived from hyperbolic functions. The original intensity image is transformed into the Schmittlet coefficient domain where each coefficient measures the existence of Schmittlet-like structures in the image. By estimating their significance via the perturbation-based noise model, the best-fitting Schmittlets are selected for image reconstruction. On the one hand, the index image indicating the locally best-fitting Schmittlets is utilized to consistently enhance further image layers, e.g., multipolarized, multitemporal, or multifrequency layers, and on the other hand, it provides an optimal description of spatial patterns valuable for further image analysis. The final validation proves the advantages of the Schmittlets over six contemporary speckle reduction techniques in six different categories (preservation of the mean intensity, equivalent number of looks, and preservation of edges and local curvature both in strength and in direction) by the help of four test sites on three resolution levels. The additional value of the Schmittlet index layer for automated image interpretation, although obvious, still is subject to further studies.

摘要： The two-dimensional problem of the diffraction of a plane E-polarized wave on a Van Atta waveguide array located on the surface of a perfectly-conducting circular cylinder is solved. The radiators in the form of open ends of waveguides are connected by plane-parallel multimode waveguides of uniform length. The task is reduced to solving an integral equation for the magnetic field vector over the entire surface of the cylinder, which is reduced to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations for the coefficients of the expansion of the magnetic field vector for a complex Fourier series in azimuthal harmonics. The solution of the equation was received strictly and approximately. An expression for the scattering diagram is obtained, represented through the geometrical parameters of the structure.

摘要： Huynen decomposition (HD) as the first formalized target decomposition has not been widely accepted. The preference for symmetry and regularity restricts not only its application but also its unification with other target dichotomies. The nonuniqueness issue then arises because we may have different dichotomies of radar targets, but we have no idea on how to select them. In this paper, a unified Huynen dichotomy is developed by extending HD for a full preference for symmetry and regularity, nonsymmetry, irregularity, and their couplings. It covers all of the existing dichotomies and provides a unified selection mechanism for them. Scattering preference is identified as a main feature of target dichotomy, and its concise description is devised by relating each dichotomy to a canonical scattering. A scattering degree of preference (SDoP) parameter is defined to measure the preference of each dichotomy. In virtue of an adaptive combination and permutation of SDoPs, a scattering pyramid description of the mixed scattering is developed, which has better discrimination of target than entropy/alpha. An SDoP/alpha classification is further proposed by statistical modeling of the unified dichotomy, which is a competent alternative to entropy/alpha. The excellent performance of unified dichotomy makes us believe that the existing concerns on HD are well treated and the Huynen–Cloude controversy, in a sense, may be ended.

摘要： For long-wavelength space-based radars, such as the P-band radar on the recently selected European Space Agency BIOMASS mission, system distortions (crosstalk and channel imbalance), Faraday rotation, and system noise all combine to degrade the measurements. A first-order analysis of these effects on the measurements of the polarimetric scattering matrix is used to derive differentiable expressions for the errors in the polarimetric backscattering coefficients in the presence of Faraday rotation. Both the amplitudes and phases of the distortion terms are shown to be important in determining the errors and their maximum values. Exact simulations confirm the accuracy and predictions of the first-order analysis. Under an assumed power-law relation between σhv and the biomass, the system distortions and noise are converted into biomass estimation errors, and it is shown that the magnitude of the deviation of the channel imbalance from unity must be 4–5 dB less than the crosstalk, or it will dominate the error in the biomass. For uncalibrated data and midrange values of biomass, the crosstalk must be less than ?24 dB if the maximum possible error in the biomass is to be within 20% of its true value. A less stringent condition applies if the amplitudes and phases of the distortion terms are considered random since errors near the maximum possible are very unlikely. For lower values of the biomass, the noise becomes increasingly important because the σhv signal-to-noise ratio is smaller.

摘要： In bistatic multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar, more number of detectable incident signals and a higher angle estimation performance can be obtained by using conjugate estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRITs) with the characteristic of noncircularity. The result is achieved under the assumption that all the received signals are noncircular. When the incident signals are the coexistence of noncircular and circular signals, the conjugate ESPRIT will not valuable. Therefore, this paper proposes a method of the joint of direction of departure (DOD) and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation, which is appropriate for the coexistence of noncircular and circular signals in bistatic MIMO radar. First, the received data model of the bistatic MIMO radar is given. Second, we modify the received signal model by the use of noncircularity characteristic. Third, we derive out the equation of spatially rotational invariant containing the DOD and DOA information. Last, we solve the equation to obtain the DOD and DOA by means of total least squares technology. The proposed algorithm has the three advantages. One is that it has better angle estimation accuracy than that of method which does not use the noncircularity characteristic. Another one is that it has more number of detectable incident signals. The last one is that the more number of noncircular signals, the higher angle estimation accuracy will be. Results from numerical experiments are used to show the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.

摘要： In this letter, we report initial experimental results which provide the foundation for low-terahertz (low-THz) radar imagery for outdoor unstructured scenarios as expected in automotive sensing. The requirements and speci?cations for a low-THz single imaging radar sensor are brie?y outlined. The imaging capabilities of frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar operating at 150 GHz are discussed. A comparison of experimental images of on-road and off- road scenarios made by a 150-GHz FMCW radar and a reference 30-GHz stepped-frequency radar is implemented, and their performance is analyzed.
