SPS27 Non-Conventional Radars and Applications
Organizers: Jérémy Raoult, University of Montpellier, France; Alain Grezes, Thales Group, France
Contact: jeremy.raoult@umontpellier.fr, alain.grezes@thalesgroup.com
Radar is widely used in number of applications, as remote sensing, geo-location objects, and imaging. But these systems are clutter limited and must contain additional signal processing to separate the target from the clutter, mainly for sensing small objects. Another radar technology, called nonlinear radar, has shown their clutter rejection properties. They are designed to detect objects that contain electrical nonlinearities. Even in an electromagnetically charged environment, small semiconductor devices can be detected and identified by a collection of specific signatures. New civilian and military applications have thus been developed: insect tracking, detecting and identifying RF electronics, sensing temperature remotely, monitoring human vital signs, etc. With this special issue, we aim to enlarge the scope of radars in disseminating recent developments on original and non-conventional radars, in a wide range of applications.
