EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing welcomes submissions to the new special issue on Advanced Techniques for Radar Signal Processing.
Recent advances in technology have led to the development of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) sensing devices capable of providing high performances in terms of both computational resources and measurement precision. In addition, the reduced size of such systems has allowed for their exploitation in diverse fields (medical, military, manufacturing, transportation, safety, and environmental planning systems). It is also important to highlight that this technology is available for terrorist attacks aimed at denying targeting information, or using radar-guided missiles.
This special issue focuses on innovative radar signal processing solutions that take advantage of the above advances for safety and/or homeland security purposes. More specifically, the focus will be on (possibly distributed) radar systems equipped with an array of sensors, which enable them to capitalize spatial diversity and power integration to increase and improve performance. Remarkably, distributed radar systems play a crucial role in facing deleterious effects due to such scenarios as false alarms, stealth targets (as, for instance, small drones, missiles, etc.), shadowing, multipath, and intentional or unintentional interference. Such techniques have possible applications in ship and aircraft monitoring (for defense purposes), coastal surveillance, and, generally speaking, homeland security. Summarizing, the emphasis of this special issue is on radar signal processing techniques (target detection and tracking, interference estimation and suppression, adaptive beamforming, electronic warfare) in the face of new and challenging operating scenarios that naturally arise from modern technologcal advances.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Cognitive waveform design for MIMO radar and distributed systems
- Advanced interference covariance matrix estimation techniques
- Sparse array design technology
- Innovative strategies for adaptive detection
- Target tracking algorithms
- Advanced beamforming techniques
- Advanced signal processing for Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) and Electronic Counter-Countermeasures (ECCM)
- Data fusion in distributed systems
- Time-Modulated Arrays
- Distributed detection and estimation
- Advanced radar based imaging techniques
- Compressive sensing based advanced radar applications
