Analysis of detection performance of incoherent range walk compensation for passive radar
Finden, Erlend; Christiansen, Jonas Myhre; Lie-Svendsen, Øystein; Olsen, Karl Erik (2015)This paper analyzes the performance of an incoherent range walk compensation method for passive radar systems. The method utilizes the velocity information in the range-Doppler map, and no detection before compensation ... -

An overview of the hardware used in the ... -
Digitalt kalibrerte radarmålinger med usynkronisert sender og mottaker
Olsen, Karl Erik; Johnsrud, Steinar (2001)The report describes a signal processing algorithm used on radar data collected from a unsynchronized radar system. The algorithm makes corrections for the missing synchronization between transmitter and receiver, and has ... -
DSI Suppression with Adaptive Beamforming in DVB-T Passive Radar Measurements
Strøm, Kyrre; Lie-Svendsen, Øystein; Norheim-Næss, Idar; Johnsen, Terje; Finden, Erlend; Olsen, Karl Erik (2018)Adaptive beamforming (ABF) for maximizing the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) is applied to acquisitions made by a passive bistatic radar (PBR) exposed to strong direct signal interference (DSI). The DVB-T ... -
Formation of Range-Doppler Maps Based on Sparse Reconstruction
Akhtar, Jabran; Olsen, Karl Erik (2016)This paper presents an application of compressed sensing in a pulsed system, such as a radar or sonar to form range-Doppler maps. Instead of transmitting a train of pulses, we portrait a system where the pulse emission ... -
