Passive Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging Using Commercial Ofdm Communication Networks, Jose R. Gutierrez Del Arroyo
Passive Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging Using Commercial Ofdm Communication Networks, Jose R. Gutierrez Del Arroyo
Theses and Dissertations
Modern communication systems provide myriad opportunities for passive radar applications. OFDM is a popular waveform used widely in wireless communication networks today. Understanding the structure of these networks becomes critical in future passive radar systems design and concept development. This research develops collection and signal processing models to produce passive SAR ground images using OFDM communication networks. The OFDM-based WiMAX network is selected as a relevant example and is evaluated as a viable source for radar ground imaging. The monostatic and bistatic phase history models for OFDM are derived and validated with experimental single dimensional data. An airborne passive collection …
Adaptive Routing Algorithm For Priority Flows In A Network, Timothy J. Carbino
Adaptive Routing Algorithm For Priority Flows In A Network, Timothy J. Carbino
Theses and Dissertations
This research presents the development of an Adaptive Routing Algorithm for Priority (ARAP) flows in a Network. Devices in today's battle space require information to function. Additional bandwidth requirements for such devices place an increased burden on the already congested networks in the battle space. Some devices require real time information (high priority) and other devices will not require real time information (low priority). Existing protocols treat the network like an opaque entity and have little knowledge of user requirements. User requirement information is available in tactical networks and we can take advantage of the known requirements to better optimize …
