Distributed SAR measurements with passive radar testbeds - Talk by Prof Michail Antoniou
You are cordially invited to join this seminar by Prof Michail Antoniou, University of Birmingham. The event will be hybrid, but due to limited capacity of the venue at TU Delft, external attendees are encouraged to join online via the MS Teams link provided.
BIO: Michail Antoniou SMIEEE, FIET, received his BEng (Hons) in Communications Engineering in 2003 and his PhD in Radar Systems in 2007, both from the University of Birmingham, UK. He is now Professor in RF Sensing Systems at the University of Birmingham, the Deputy Head of its Microwave Integrated Systems Laboratory (MISL), and the Qinetiq\Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair in Distributed and Connected RF Sensing. His research interests include distributed radar sensing and imaging, multi-dimensional radar imaging, cognitive radar systems and AI for radar. He has some 160 publications in these areas and 2 book chapters, he co-Chairs the SAR Focus Group of EMSIG- The UK Radar Society, and he has previously held various editorial roles for IEEE, IET and MDPI journals.
TITLE: Distributed SAR measurements with passive radar testbeds
ABSTRACT: Distributed Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems have the potential to unlock advanced imaging capabilities and enhance image information space through the technical benefit of viewing the same target area from multiple perspectives. To provide proof of feasibility and identify practical performance limits for novel concepts ultimately requires experimental validation, however to create dedicated demonstrator systems is challenging and as the number of radar nodes increases this challenge becomes more acute. The talk will present how some of these challenges can be eased or overcome by developing distributed radar testbeds relying on illuminators of opportunity. We will consider methods and results derived through two types of such systems, developed over many years at the University of Birmingham – one of which is based on navigation satellite transmissions (e.g. GPS), and the other exploiting digital terrestrial television broadcasting (DVB-T). The talk will cover fundamental and practical aspects of such systems as well as some of the capabilities they can experimentally demonstrate, showcasing opportunities and suggesting future research directions.
