Electromagnetic Remote Sensing of Sources and Scatterers

Abstract

This project developed methods to exploit data from active and passive sensors for the surveillance and localization of electromagnetic sources and scatterers. It addressed various Air Force and DoD needs for the development of future radar and sensor systems. Specific projects included: target detection in wind turbine clutter, time-reversal and resonance enhancement, inclusion of realistic target and antenna models in simulations, extension of theory to moving targets, study of behavior in noise, target shape and motion from bistatic radar measurements, recovery of surface roughness information from SAR data, passive source localization, statistical approaches for detecting a coherent signal at spatially distributed antennas, geometrical understanding of frequency-difference-of-arrival (FDOA) curves and surfaces, and development and comparison of subspace detectors for first- and second-order statistical models.
