| Recommended semester: 7th - 9th semester |
| Scope and form: Lectures, group work and tutorials |
| Evaluation: Oral exam
|
| Examination: 13-scale |
| Previous course: 48372 |
| Prerequisites: 31405 / 48110 Wireless Communication or Introductory Electromagnetic Theory |
| Preferred prerequisites: knowledge of signal analysis |
| No credit points with: 48372 |
| Aim: The course emphasizes system aspects and deals with two important microwave sensors - radar and radiometer systems - used for remote sensing and surveillance. It is the aim that the student will eventually be able to perform a proper system analysis and design of radar and radiometer systems for various applications. |
| Contents: The course will describe systems like airport traffic control radar, weather radar, air- and spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The theory behind the systems is described and the systems are worked through on a block diagram level. Likewise radiometer systems are introduced: what is radiometry, radiometer principles, imaging radiometer systems, pola-rimetric radiometer. The course is strongly related to the sensor development taking place at EMI within airborne SAR and radiometer |
| Remarks: The course is closely related to 31425 Remote Sensing. |
