Topic:

Co-Pulsing FDA Radar

Abstract: Target localization based on frequency diverse array (FDA) radar has lately garnered significant research interest. A linear frequency offset (FO) across FDA antennas yields a range-angle dependent beampattern that allows for joint estimation of range and direction-of-arrival (DoA). Prior works on FDA largely focus on the one-dimensional linear array to estimate only azimuth angle and range while ignoring the elevation and Doppler velocity. However, in many applications, the latter two parameters are also essential for target localization. Further, there is also an interest in radar systems that employ fewer measurements in temporal, Doppler, or spatial signal domains. In this context, this chapter provides an overview of FDA in co-array domain to address the aforementioned multiple challenges. In particular, we focus on co-pulsing FDA radar that employs co-prime L-shaped FDA, wherein co-prime FOs are applied across the elements of L-shaped co-prime array and each element transmits at a non-uniform co-prime pulse repetition interval. This co-pulsing FDA yields significantly large degrees-of-freedom (DoFs) for target localization in the range-azimuth-elevation-Doppler domain while also reducing the time-on-target and transmit spectral usage. Next, we examine clutter-suppression for an airborne co-pulsing FDA radar using novel space-time-adaptive processing (STAP) techniques, namely co-STAP. Finally, we extend the co-pulsing concept to continuous-wave radar, with a hardware demonstration for automotive radar applications.
 

Biography:

Kumar Vijay Mishra (S’08-M’15-SM’18) obtained a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and M.S. in mathematics from The University of Iowa in 2015, and M.S. in electrical engineering from Colorado State University in 2012, while working on NASA’s Global Precipitation Mission Ground Validation (GPM-GV) weather radars. He received his B. Tech. summa cum laude (Gold Medal, Honors) in electronics and communication engineering from the National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur (NITH), India in 2003. He is a Senior Fellow at the United States DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory; Research Scientist at the Institute for Systems Research, The University of Maryland, College Park under the ARL-ArtIAMAS program; Technical Adviser to Singapore-based automotive radar start-up Hertzwell and Boston-based imaging radar startup Aura Intelligent Systems; and honorary Research Fellow at SnT - Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust, University of Luxembourg. Previously, he had research appointments at the Electronics and Radar Development Establishment (LRDE), Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) Bengaluru; IIHR - Hydroscience & Engineering, Iowa City, IA; Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs, Cambridge, MA; Qualcomm, San Jose; and Technion - Israel Institute of Technology.
