Introduction:
In this talk, we will first introduce signal processing architectures which, after target detection, are able to provide direct estimates of the target angular offsets from the array pointing direction. Then, we'll talk about two estimation procedures respectively based on the Dinkelbach’s algorithm and a CD method. The former provides the optimal ML estimates of the unknown displacements. The latter generally exhibits a faster convergence than the former but the optimality of the solution (in the ML sense) cannot be claimed. Finally, we'll demonstrate a comparative analysis with other techniques available in the open literature which are either tailored to detection or target angle localization. Benchmark limits have been also considered. The results highlight the interplay of the different design parameters and show that the new algorithms provide adequate performance, thus representing viable solutions for practical implementations.
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".
