Students will learn basic and advanced techniques in radar signal processing—many of which are also relevant to other sensing modalities and applications. The focus will be the early-stage processing methods prior to tracking and data exploitation. The course will begin with a brief overview of radar systems and applications, the radar range equation, and radar signal modeling. Students will then learn in-depth about pulsed-Doppler processing, array processing, and space-time adaptive processing. The course will conclude with a brief introduction to synthetic aperture radar. Students will gain significant hands-on experience working with real radar data.
