Effects Of Long-Term Evolution Waveform On Synthetic Aperture Radar Image Quality Metrics, Blake M. Colson

Theses and Dissertations

As a greater demand by the private sector for bandwidth drives spectrum allocations away from defense, new methods for coexistence in the spectrum are being explored. One of the prominent areas in defense for this coexistence is passive radar. This mode of radar system allows for data collection by referencing signals already established in the environment of interest. Some of the most prolific signals currently available are those used for mobile communication networks. In particular, Long- Term Evolution (LTE) is a common waveform that could be leveraged for discrete collection of image intelligence. Seeking to build a base of knowledge, …
