Classification and Discrimination of Sources With Time-Varying Frequency and Spatial Spectra

Abstract

This report presents the results of the research performed under ONR grant number N00014-98-1-0176 over the period of October 1st, 2004 to September 30th, 2005. The research team working on this project consists of Prof. Moeness Amin (PI), Prof. Yimin Zhang (Research Professor), Mr. Baha Obeidat and Mr. Pawan Setlur (Graduate Students). We have also collaborated with Dr. Thayananthan Thayaparan (Defense Research and Development, Canada), Prof. Ahmad Hoorfar (Villanova University), and Prof. Kehu Yang (Xidian University, China). The research objective in FY05 evolved around the moving target tracking using time-frequency signal representations. In addition to achieving this objective, the research has progressed on three other fronts, namely, Sensor configuration in polarized antenna arrays, DOA and polarization estimation for wide band sources, and Micro-Doppler experiments. One book chapter, two journal articles, and seven conference papers have been generated from our research efforts in FY05. Below is the summary of the research accomplishments in each of the individual areas. Copies of the principle publications are included in the report.
