Creeping Wave Propagation On Cylindrical Radiating Structures
(2019-08-01)
Weather radar is a powerful tool for detecting hazardous weather that may impact
the lives of many. Most weather radars used by meteorologists today rely on a
mechanical sweep to obtain volumetric data. This mechanical ...
A fuzzy logic algorithm for classifying bird and insect radar echoes at S-band
(2018-08-02)
A fuzzy logic algorithm for the separation of bird echoes from insect echoes using Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD) and considering range effects has been developed. The radar used in this study is the S-band (10 cm wavelength) ...
UAV-Based In Situ Antenna Characterization: Analysis and Design Requirements
(2018-05-11)
This thesis proposes to characterize antennas in situ with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), especially within the framework of weather radar and 5th generation wireless systems (5G) antennas. Specifically, it is concerned ...
LOW-COST, SOFTWARE DEFINED FMCW RADAR FOR OBSERVATIONS OF DRONES
(2017-05-12)
This thesis focuses on implementing a small, low-cost, Frequency-Modulated-Continuous-Wave (FMCW) radar sensor using Software-Defined Radio (SDR) platforms. Extensive investigation and comparisons of existing SDRs are ...
Simulation and Adaptive Aperture Allocation for All-Digital Phased-Array Radar
(2019-08-01)
Increased flexibility afforded by all-digital radar architectures and operational concepts such as MIMO radar can be leveraged with new waveforms and aperture allocation methods to improve radar performance in diverse ...
