Abstract

After a brief introduction dedicated to modern statistical and spectral modeling and analysis of high-resolution sea and ground clutter, the lecture will focus on coherent radar detection in non-Gaussian background. Optimum and sub-optimum detectors are derived and their performance analysed against a non-Gaussian background. Different interpretations of the various detectors are provided that highlight the relationships and the differences among them. Moreover, some discussion is dedicated to how to make adaptive the detectors, by incorporating a proper estimate of the disturbance covariance matrix, in order to guarantee the CFAR behaviour of the detector. Results with simulated and real recorded data will be shown.

IEEE Estonia Section was recognized on base of three last years of membership development performance. As a matter of fact, the ratio of IEEE members in Section to population of Estonia has reached to level of older European countries.

Still there is lot of space to increase it further 🙂

IEEE Estonia Section ExCom 2015-2016

The election of Estonia Section officers took place electronically on 7-14 February 2015, following a call for candidates January 30th to February 5th. The voting  attracted a record participation rate this year, 31%. Each position also attracted write-in candidates, which is a testament to increased volunteer activity.
The section ExCom will be the following for 2015-2016.

  • Chair: Kalle Tammemäe
  • Vice-Chair: Peeter Ellervee (elected in 2014)
  • Treasurer: Eiko Kängsep
  • Secretary: Maie Bachmann
