Forward Scattering Radar: Theory, applications, and future directions
Forward Scattering Radar (FSR) is a special mode of bistatic radar in which the desired radar signal is formed via the shadowing of the direct signal by the target body. The signal received at the FSR receiver can be used for target detection, tracking, classification, recognition and imaging. FSR offers several salient features such as relatively simple hardware, enhanced target radar cross section, long coherent interval of the receiving signal and possible operation using non-cooperative transmitters.
In this talk, I will briefly explain the theory of FSR, and discuss the receiver technique, signal processing, wave propagation as well as radar cross section characteristics. This is followed with the highlights of the advantages and current limitations of this technique. Then I will share notable research progress and case studies that demonstrate the feasibility of FSR in emerging applications. I will also highlight the current development of automatic target detection and classification, clutter profile analysis and the integration of machine learning in FSR. Despite many distinct advantages of FSR and enormous applications that have been tested to unlock the capability of FSR, however, there is a lack of commercial radar systems based on FSR and its potential impact. Thus, I will present potential solutions and recommendations to traditional FSR systems, so that industry players will consider incorporating FSR into their product pipelines. Finally, I will conclude this talk by sharing some future directions.

Dr Raja Abdullah
Biography:
Raja Abdullah is a radar engineer and researcher who has worked extensively in bistatic and passive radar. He obtained PhD in radar systems from The University of Birmingham, UK in 2005. In 2006 he joined Universiti Putra Malaysia as an academic staff. Then, in 2013 he was attached to The University of Birmingham as a visiting academic to research bio-inspired signal processing for radar systems. In 2020 he joined The University of Queensland and worked on a microwave imaging project to inspect defects inside infrastructure. He has made significant contributions to the field with over 150 publications in high-quality journals, conference proceedings and white papers. His main research areas include radar systems, signal processing, microwave devices, microwave imaging and communication systems. He is a Chartered Engineer (CEng) United Kingdom, a Professional Engineer (PE) Malaysia, a Senior Member of IEEE and a member of IET.
