Term Project
|
In groups of 2 students, you will have to find information (block diagram,
operation principles) and evaluate in terms of probabilities of false alarm
and missed detection, power requirements, noise performance, clutter
cancellation capability, antennas and RF components specs one practical
radar system (e.g. Air-traffic control radar ASR-9, USAF E3 AWACS Aircraft
Radar, AN/FPQ-6 Missile Precision Tracking Radar, AN/TPN-19 bad-weather aircraft
landing radar) or group of practical radars (alternative systems for sea
navigation radars, weather Doppler radars, sensor and RFID radars). The preliminary project 10'
presentations (choice of application, evaluation criteria, preliminary
bibliography) will take place in the first week of March (10% of the total grade).
The final project presentations (15') will take place the week of 4/26-4/30
(20% of the total grade). The 10-page project reports will be due by
4/29/10. (10% of the total work)
