  • Interferometric synthetic aperture radar imaging of subsurface structures
    Patent number: 11002848
    Abstract: A subsurface interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) imaging technique for the detection and localization of underground targets in the presence of a rough ground surface comprises a two-step procedure. First, surface clutter suppression is performed with a polarimetric difference operation that does not alter the propagation phase of the target scattered signal; then a subsurface interferometric algorithm is applied to infer target depth by correlating the clutter-suppressed images obtained along two observation paths.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 15, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 11, 2021
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army

  • Method and apparatus for bandwidth selection for radar transmission
    Patent number: 10101436
    Abstract: A method for optimizing bandwidth selection of a radar transmission in a frequency bandwidth in which the frequency bandwidth is divided into a plurality of sub-bands having a plurality of different bandwidths. The energy level is measured for each sub-band and a range resolution is also determined for each sub-band. Thereafter, a sub-band is selected in the frequency range where the signal to interference plus noise ratio plus the range resolution is maximum. Thereafter, a radar transmission is transmitted in the selected sub-band with a bandwidth corresponding to the bandwidth of the selected sub-band.
