IRS 2024 Focus Session

“Noise / LPI radar”

Conventional radar that uses pulsed linear frequency modulation in transmitted signal can be easily detected and identified by modern electronic reconnaissance systems. Fixed waveform model with only few degrees of freedom is also prone to intentional and unintentional jamming in congested spectrum. An alternative approach is to use a random or pseudorandom transmit signal that is unique for each sounding or other techniques of energy spreading.

The session focuses on LPI radar concepts and applications. Topics such as waveform design, performance comparison to deterministic-waveform counterpart, hardware implementations and usage scenarios are welcome. Also new trends such as Code Division Multiplexing MIMO and Joint Radar-Communication systems using noise-like signals lie within the scope of this session.
