Short Abstract:
The course will present the fundamental mathematical and engineering principles underlying the design and use of phased arrays and will present techniques for various techniques for processing the outputs of phased arrays. It will cover conventional and optimum techniques for array beamforming and will present theoretical, computational and real data analysis illustrating the practical performance of the methods presented. The course will also address the estimation of the direction of arrival of signals incident upon the array. Finally extension topics of STAP (Space Time Adaptive Processing) and MIMO (Multiple Input/Multiple Output) radar will be presented.
