SP-MIMO Radar Studies
Abstract
SP-MIMO Radar StudiesProject AbstractThe purpose of the proposed work is to develop and evaluate radar concepts, waveforms, imple""mentations, polarization behavior, and algorithms that are based on coherent multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) architectures, wi"th significant consideration being given to space-polarization (SP) MIMO architectures. The research will address a wide range of to"pics, including target vibration detection and characterization, conformal antennas, material classification, and target geolocation"" techniques. To evaluate developed concepts, the research will involve not only theoretical and simulation studies, but also substan"tial experimentation using radar system implementations based on software-defined radios (SDRs). Both dual-polarized and SP-MIMO SDR" radar implementations will be advanced to facilitate efficient evaluation of the concepts, and should enable performance comparison""s between single-polarization, DP, and SP-MIMO architectures. The developed concepts are expected to provide new capabilities and me"thods for both active and passive sensing.Approved for Public Release
