Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is portrayed as a multiple access channel. An information theory approach is applied to the SAR imaging system, and the information content about a target that can be extracted from its radar image is evaluated by the average mutual information measure. A conditional (...

Due to the good performance of tracking low elevation target as compared to microwave and the superiority in penetrating smoke, dust, fog, and dry snow as compared to infrared, a Ku and Ka dual band experimental radar was designed and developed. This Ku and Ka dual band experimental radar is an ampl...

Speckle filtering is an indispensable pre-processing step for applications of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (POLSAR), such as terrain classification, target detection, etc. As one of the most typical methods, the polarimetric whitening filter (PWF) can be used to produce a minimum-speckle im...

A new deghosting method based on the generalized triangulation is presented. First, two intersection points corresponding to the emitter position are obtained by utilizing two azimuth angles and two elevation angles from two jammed 3-D radars (or 2-D passive sensors). Then, hypothesis testing based ...

Mechanical failure modes leading to cracks or breeches in proton exchange membrane fuel cells are driven by mechanical forces associated with swelling from water uptake and shrinkage from dehumidification. To determine the magnitude of compressive mechanical stress imposed by water swelling in a pro...
