Introduction:
In this talk, we'll first briefly introduce the radar system and the geometry used to collect the data. Then we'll show the signal processing tools adopted to learn bistatic sea-clutter returns statistical properties, which involve the complex envelope of data. Next, we'll assess the compliance of the available measurements with the Spherically Invariant Random Process (SIRP) representation, as well as analyze possible texture correlations among the diverse polarimetric channels. Besides, we’ll analyze the range and polarimetric heterogeneity. The results highlight that the SIRP model is a good candidate for the representation of bistatic coherent clutter and usually the coherence time of the SIRP texture at the bistatic nodes is longer than that in the monostatic sensing. Notably, at bistatic angles in order of 60∘, the quadrature components of the cross-polarized bistatic measurements substantially exhibit a Gaussian behaviour. Finally, we’ll give a short conclusion and talk about the future work.
Speakers’ profiles：
Antonio De Maio (S'01-A'02-M'03-SM'07-F'13) was born in Sorrento, Italy, on June 20, 1974. He received the Dr.Eng. degree (with honors) and the Ph.D. degree in information engineering, both from the University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy, in 1998 and 2002, respectively. From October to December 2004, he was a Visiting Researcher with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, Rome, NY, USA. From November to December 2007, he was a Visiting Researcher with the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong. Currently, he is a Professor with the University of Naples Federico II. His research interest lies in the field of statistical signal processing, with emphasis on radar detection and optimization theory applied to radar signal processing. Dr. De Maio is a Fellow member of IEEE and the recipient of the 2010 IEEE Fred Nathanson Memorial Award as the young (less than 40 years of age) AESS Radar Engineer 2010 whose performance is particularly noteworthy as evidenced by contributions to the radar art over a period of several years, with the following citation for "robust CFAR detection, knowledge-based radar signal processing, and waveform design and diversity".
