Synthetic Range Profiling, ISAR imaging of sea vessels and feature extraction, using a multimode radar to classify targets: initial results from field trials. Saudi International Electronics, Communications and Photonics Conference, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 23-26 April 2011, pp 1-6978-1-4577-0068-2, 978-1-4577-0067-5http://ipac.kacst.edu.sa/eDoc/2011/193437_1.pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10204/5076Saudi International Electronics, Communications and Photonics Conference, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 23-26 April 2011This paper describes the design and working principles of an experimental multimode radar with a stepped-frequency Synthetic Range Profiling (SRP) and Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) capability for the purpose of operator-based classification of small to medium sized sea vessels in littoral condition. The experimental multimode radar is based on an experimental tracking radar that was modified to generate SRP and ISAR images in both search and tracking modes. The architecture and functionality of the experimental system is described. Initial results from field experiments are presented to demonstrate the functionality of the system.enRange ProfilingInverse Synthetic Aperture RadarMaritime classificationMultimode radarFeature extractionConference PresentationAbdul Gaffar, M., Nel, W., Naicker, K., Steyn, J., Alanazi, T., & Alzamil, A.
