Utilising bistatic radar for aircraft detection
Speaker: James Palmer, ITEE
When: 2003-06-10 11:00:00
Venue: 78-420
Host: Dr. John Homer
Abstract:Bistatic Radar has been around since the early twentieth century,
and was in fact the original configuration for the deployment of
radar technology. However, with the advent of more sophisticated
means of achieving signal isolation, the research and development of
Bistatic Radar has typically taken a back seat to its more adaptable
sibling, Monostatic Radar. Nonetheless, the geometry of Bistatic
Radar generates a number of advantages that Monostatic Radar is
unable to provide, many of which have not been fully capitalised
upon.
In this seminar, a discussion will be given on the research of one
specific application of Bistatic Radar, that is, the Utilisation of
Bistatic Radar for Aircraft Detection. This seminar will discuss two
main approaches aimed at detecting aircraft using Bistatic Radar in
manners that capitalise further on the advantages provided by the
geometry. This discussion will include: a statement of the aims of
the research, a review of the relevant literature, a discussion of
the research methodology that is to be employed and it will also
indicate the progress to date. A research plan indicating the work
to be performed and a timetable will also be discussed.
Biography:James Palmer received the degree of Bachelor of Engineering
(Electrical - Hons) / Bachelor of Arts from the University of
Queensland in mid 2002. Currently he is undertaking a PhD in the
area of Bistatic Radar. James is also associated with CSSIP.
