Radar Clutter Modeling and Exploitation
February 9 @ 7:30 am - 12:00 pm
Join us for an afternoon Seminar on Radar Clutter presented by AESS Distinguished Lecturer Luke Rosenberg.
This hybrid meeting will be in-person at the Lockheed Martin Syracuse Conference Center and online via WebEx.
While in-person participation is limited to US Citizens, anyone is welcome to join virtually!
Clutter and the need to detect targets in clutter is a significant part of radar design. The development of methods to model clutter and CFAR detection schemes for targets in clutter are still at the forefront of radar research, as evidenced by the numbers of papers on these topics in the radar journals and at the radar conferences. Models of clutter are only of value if they can be used in practice for the development of real radar systems. This seminar will help attendees to understand the impact of clutter on radar design and performance, and how to use clutter models to develop better designs. This insight is relevant not only to radar systems engineers but also to those responsible for specifying and procuring new radar systems for operational use.
The first part of the seminar will introduce the methods used to describe radar clutter and show how physical and empirical models are developed. The second part will describe how clutter models are used in different ways to predict and analyse the performance of radar systems in the various stages of the life cycle of a radar system. The tutorial will particularly emphasise the modelling of sea clutter and it use in the design and development of airborne maritime surveillance radars. The third part of the tutorial will describe how clutter models are used to develop realistic simulations of radar signals. Finally, the prediction of performance using the radar range equation and the various statistical models of clutter will be described for both non-coherent and coherent radar detection processing.
