Synthetic Impulse and Aperture Radar (SIAR) (PDF)

Analyzes and discusses the operating principle, signal
processing method, and experimental results of this advanced radar
technology

This book systematically discusses the operating principle,
signal processing method, target measurement technology, and
experimental results of a new kind of radar called synthetic
impulse and aperture radar (SIAR). The purpose is to help readers
acquire an insight into the concept and principle of the SIAR, to
know its operation mode, signal processing method, the difference
between the traditional radar and itself, the designing ideals, and
the developing method.

It includes 10 chapters. Chapter 1 gives an introduction to the
basic principle of SIAR and its characteristic of four antis.
Chapter 2 introduces the operating principles and system
constitution of SIAR. Chapter 3 presents the main waveforms and the
corresponding signal processing methods. Chapter 4 is about the
long-time integration technique. Chapter 5 shows the high-accuracy
measurement and tracking of 4D parameters of target in SIAR. The
range-angle coupling and decoupling are introduced in Chapter 6,
where a criteria for transmit frequency optimization of array
elements is studied to overcome the coupling among range, azimuth
and elevation. In Chapter 7, detection and tracking of
targets in strong interference background is investigated. Chapter
8 analyzes quantitatively the influence of array error on the
tracking accuracy of SIAR. Expansion of impulse and aperture
synthesis to HF band and microwave band are introduced respectively
in Chapter 9 and Chapter 10. The operating principle of the novel
bi-static surface wave radar system, as well as the experimental
system and the experimental results are included in Chapter 9.

Written by a highly experienced author with extensive knowledge
of SIAR (Chen), the book can be used as a reference for engineering
technical personnel and scientific research personnel working in
the research of SIAR, MIMO radar, digital radar or other new type
of radar. It can also be a reference for teachers and students in
universities who engage in related professional work.
