A radar, i.e., radio detection and ranging, can be used for detection, tracking, and imaging of an object or physical phenomenon, in terms of range, velocity, angle, and radar cross section. Combining a phased array with a radar has been considered one of the most promising technologies in recent years for various new applications. With huge amounts of data continually obtained, Artificial Intelligence (AI) enables more accurate target prediction, better resource scheduling on multi-target tracking, modeling surrounding environment, etc. To own in-depth knowledge of digital signal processing algorithms realized in phased array radar, in this course, we will study the following themes. 1. Introduction to Radar Applications and Systems 2. Fundamentals of Radar Signal Processing 3. Radar Range Equation and Signal Model 4. Threshold Detection of Fluctuating Targets 5. Constant False Alarm Rate Detection

The goal of this course is to introduce essential digital signal and data processing techniques for phased array radar systems. By taking this course, the students can - understand the basic principles of radar, - comprehend the commonly used signal and data processing algorithms at radar receivers, and - explore advanced research topics in future radar transceivers. In addition, by studying some selected topics and executing a term project in one semester, like a workshop, the students can - be familiar with radar technology and its AI-based data usage, - share their own opinions through oral presentations in classes, and - actualize the interested algorithms by teamwork, and - make friends with the instructor and classmates.

Prerequisite: - Linear Algebra - Probability - Signal and System - Principle of Communications Preferable: - Random Processes - Digital Signal Processing - Digital Communications - Detection and Estimation Skill: - Matlab or Python (other programming languages are also okay) - LaTeX Study on Selected Papers or Book Chapters: - Figuring out the system model and revealing the key proposed concepts - Algorithm implementation and reconstruction of the simulation results Attending the first class is mandatory.
