This thesis details the design of a processing chain and system software for a commensal radar system, that is, a radar that makes use of illuminators of opportunity to provide the transmitted waveform. The stages of data acquisition from receiver back-end, direct path interference and clutter suppression, range/Doppler processing and target detection are described and targeted to general purpose commercial off-the-shelf computing hardware. A detailed low level design of such a processing chain for commensal radar which includes both processing stages and processing stage interactions has, to date, not been presented in the Literature. Furthermore, a novel deployment configuration for a networked multi-site FM broadcast band commensal radar system is presented in which the reference and surveillance channels are record at separate locations. 2015-05-28T12:19:13Z 2015-05-28T12:19:13Z 2014 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12996 eng application/pdf Department of Electrical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
