  • Publication number: 20070247353
    Abstract: A bistatic radar system having a transmitter that generates unique signals at spatially independent transmitter degrees of freedom and a receiver that filters the signal at each receiver degree of freedom into a group of signals identical in number to the number of transmitter degrees of freedom. The receiver formats the filtered signals into a 2-dimensional array of elements. The receiver rotates the array so that the new axes are aligned with the Doppler gradient. The data is then re-sampled and projected to linearize the clutter signal. The receiver may be integrated with a broad class of adaptive and non-adaptive clutter mitigation approaches such as electronic clutter tuning and projected bistatic space-time adaptive processing, or STAP.

  • Publication number: 20070109182
    Abstract: An adaptive broadcast radar system for tracking targets is disclosed. The radar system includes a transmitter having sub-apertures and a receiver having sub-apertures. The transmitter sub-apertures generate and code a signal waveform. The signal waveform is coded with data about the transmitter, including the degrees of freedom. The receiver receives signals that may include direct path signals and scattered signals correlating to the signal waveforms from the transmitter. The receiver includes a signal processor that regenerates a transmit beam for the coded data, delay, and doppler information from the received signals. The signal processor data quads encapsulates the information.
