Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Radars perform a significant role in the airborne, vehicle, shipborne, or surface deformation monitoring fields because of their all-day and all-weather abilities. Many studies have been carried out to improve the sensing precision of radars, such as multi-dimensional sensing, multi-domain detection, and super-resolution methods, among others. However, it is difficult to fully extract information using traditional data processing approaches. With the development of artificial intelligence, radar performance has been improved. Therefore, there is a need to further explore new AI technologies or advanced algorithms with high precision and performance. This Topic collection is open to researchers and authors who want to submit works in the fields of radar applications, new methods in radar signal processing, novel approaches to improving radar performance, and AI methods in radars. We are looking forward to submissions on topics of interest including but not limited to the following:

  • Radar signal processing;
  • AI in radar;
  • Radar imaging;
  • Super-resolution radar;
  • Airborne radar;
  • Vehicle radar;
  • Shipborne radar;
  • Surface deformation radar;
  • Biomedical radar to include vital sign monitoring and other biomedical radar applications;
  • Antennas for radar applications;
  • mmWave radars;
  • New radar applications.

The acoustically actuated antenna technology enables a significant reduction in antenna dimension, facilitating miniaturization of ground-penetrating radar systems in the very high-frequency (VHF) band. However, the current acoustically actuated antennas suffer from narrow bandwidth and low range resolution. To address this issue, this paper proposed a three-dimensional (3D) localization method for underground targets, which combined two-dimensional (2D) array direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation with continuous spatial sampling without relying on range resolution. By leveraging the small dimension of acoustically actuated antennas, a 2D uniform linear array was formed to obtain the target’s angle using DOA estimation. Based on the variation pattern of 2D angles in continuous spatial sampling, the genetic algorithm was employed to estimate the 3D coordinates of underground targets. The numerical simulation results indicated that the root mean square error (RMSE) of the proposed 3D localization method is 1.68 cm, which outperforms conventional methods that utilize wideband frequency-modulated pulse signals with hyperbolic vertex detection in theoretical localization accuracy, while also demonstrating good robustness. The gprMax electromagnetic simulation results further confirmed that this method can effectively localize multiple targets in ideal homogeneous underground media. Full article

Deinterleaving pulses of various pulse repetition interval (PRI) modulation modes constitute a vital and challenging task for an electronic measures system (ESM). A deinterleaving method based on multi-receiver time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, this paper theoretically analyzes the distribution feature of TDOA, providing the basis of deinterleaving. Then, a SSC (Sorting Skipping Clustering)-DBSCAN algorithm is proposed to achieve TDOA clustering by pre-sorting and traversing key points, which reduces the computational complexity. The TDOA mapping algorithm is further proposed to separate pulses and eliminate Cross-Pulse TDOAs simultaneously based on a one-time clustering result, which can significantly decrease the false alarm rate while avoiding clustering TDOA repeatedly. Simulation results show that the proposed method is capable of deinterleaving pulses of various PRI modulation modes and the performance remains excellent under multiple parameter settings. The running time and the false alarm rate have been reduced by at least 66% and 17%, respectively, compared with the existing methods. Full article
