Multi-Mode, Multi-Antenna Software Defined Radar for Adaptive Tracking and Identification of Targets in Urban Environments

Abstract

Under this research program we have developed vertically integrated software defined radar systems that can adapt to user sensing requirements in real-time. Multiple phase centers facilitate polarimetric and interferometric operation as well as serve as a testbed to implement and test multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) and waveform adaptive radar concepts. This research program made advances on three fronts: 1) Development of reference designs for next generation MIMO radar platforms. 2) New transmit waveform designs and adaptive waveform scheduling algorithms for improved detection and tracking. 3) Experimental and theoretical analysis of MIMO target signature.
