AESS DL titled "RADAR SEA CLUTTER MODELLING AND SIMULATION"
Prof. Luke Rosenberg, University of Adelaide
In the context of the AESS DL Program, the "Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Informazione, Elettronica e Telecomunicazioni" of SAPIENZA, UNIVERSITY OF ROME is pleased to host Prof. Luke Rosenberg, IEEE Fellow and AESS Distinguished Lecturer from University of Adelaide, for a lecture titled “RADAR SEA CLUTTER MODELLING AND SIMULATION”.
There is a large body of literature on sea-clutter analysis and modelling. However, these are mostly from radars with coarse resolution with data collected at low grazing angles. Newer maritime airborne radars which operate at higher resolutions and from higher grazing angles will therefore require newer models to characterise the sea-clutter. The Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) Ingara medium grazing angle dataset was collected for this purpose and has resulted in a significant amount of work both internally at the DSTG and through the NATO SET-185 group on high grazing angle sea-clutter. This talk discusses the modelling of this data set and its application to realistic sea-clutter simulation.

Biography:
Luke Rosenberg received the bachelor’s degree in electrical and electronic engineering, the master’s degree in signal and information processing, and the Ph.D degree from the University of Adelaide, Australia, in 1999, 2001, and 2007, respectively. In 2016, he completed the Graduate Program in Scientific Leadership at the University of Melbourne, Australia. He leads the RF Analysis and Sensemaking group at Advanced Systems & Technologies, Lockheed Martin Australia, is a Lockheed Martin Associate Fellow and an adjunct Associate Professor with the University of Adelaide. Prior to this he was a Research Specialist at the Defence Science and Technology Group, Australia where he worked for 23 years. His work covers the areas of radar image formation, classification, adaptive filtering, detection theory, and radar and clutter modelling. Dr. Rosenberg has received several best paper awards, the prestigious Defence Science and Technology Achievement Award for Science and Engineering Excellence in 2016 and the IEEE AESS Fred Nathanson award in 2018 for ‘Fundamental Experimental and Theoretical Work in Characterizing Radar Sea Clutter’. In 2024, he became an IEEE Fellow for contributions to maritime radar. He is the VP Publications on the AESS board of governors, a distinguished lecturer for the AESS, senior editor for the Transactions of Aerospace and Electronic Systems and past chair of the IEEE South Australian Section. He has over 190 publications including a book on Radar Sea Clutter: Modelling and Detection.
