Radar detectability of light aircraft micro‐Doppler modulation

open access: yesIET Radar, Sonar & Navigation
The critical role of specifying micro‐Doppler mode performance in the modelling and development of modern radar systems is investigated. The authors focus on the detection of micro‐Doppler modulation from light aircraft, analysing data from eight ...

Application of Micro-Doppler Signatures for Estimation of Total Energy Expenditure in Humans for Walking/Running Activities

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2016
We investigate the feasibility of estimating the total energy expenditure (TEE) of a human for walking/running activities with micro-Doppler signatures. Doppler radar can capture micro-Doppler signatures produced from limb motions when a human moves.

On the impact of observation‐error correlations in data assimilation, with application to along‐track altimeter data

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We study the impact of observation‐error correlations in data assimilation using both a simple idealised system and a more realistic configuration. A spectral analysis of data assimilation in the idealised system allows us to gain insights on the effect of observation‐error correlations, which are then validated using the realistic configuration.

Target separation detection and motion parameter estimation method based on time-varying autoregressive model

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering, 2019
The authors report a target separation detection and motion parameter estimation method based on the time-varying autoregressive (TVAR) model. The TVAR model is used to extract the instantaneous Doppler frequencies of multiple targets or scattering ...

Gait Classification Based on Micro-Doppler Features [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper focuses on the classification of human gaits based on micro-Doppler signatures. The micro-Doppler signatures can represent detailed information about the human gaits, which helps in judging the threat of a personnel target. The proposed method

Quantifying nocturnal bird migration using acoustics: opportunities and challenges

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
In this study, we explore three migration intensity measures derived from acoustic recordings, that is, bird call and passage rates, and species diversity, for their usefulness in quantifying nocturnal bird migration rates at three taxonomic levels: birds, passerines and thrushes, as estimated by a dedicated bird radar. Bird passage rates, that is, the

History of Doppler Radar Navigation

open access: yesNavigation, 1993
This paper traces the history of the development and applications of Doppler radar navigation systems from their inception in the mid-1940s to the present. The early design concepts, problems, tribulations, and obstacles are discussed. With only noncoherent pulse radar transmitters available at that time, a unique technique of self-coherence had to be ...

Advancing the mapping of vegetation structure in savannas using Sentinel‐1 imagery

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
As vegetation structure monitoring is important for the understanding and conservation of savanna ecosystems, we explored the utility of C‐band synthetic aperture radar imagery for mapping both grassland and woody vegetation structure in the Greater Serengeti‐Mara Ecosystem.

The first operation and results of the Chung-Li VHF radar [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
The Chung-Li Very High Frequency (VHF) radar is used in the dual-mode operations, applying Doppler beam-swinging as well as the spaced-antenna-drift method. The design of the VHF radar is examined.

A study of the 23 October 2022 southern England damaging MCS

open access: yesWeather, EarlyView.
During the afternoon of 23 October 2022, a mesoscale convective system (MCS) developed and intensified over the English Channel and tracked north‐northeastward into southern England, producing widespread damaging winds and at least three moderate to strong tornadoes in Hampshire.
