AESS DL titled "The importance of sea-clutter modelling"

In the context of the AESS DL Program, the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies of University of Naples "Federico II" is pleased to host Prof. Luke Rosenberg, IEEE Fellow and AES Distinguished Lecturer from University of Adelaide, for a lecture titled "The importance of sea-clutter modelling". ABSTRACT: There is a large body of literature on sea-clutter analysis and modelling. However, these are mostly from radars with coarse resolution with data collected at low grazing angles. Newer maritime airborne radars which operate at higher resolutions and from higher grazing angles will therefore require newer models to characterise the sea-clutter. The Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) Ingara medium grazing angle dataset was collected for this purpose and has resulted in a significant amount of work both internally at the DSTG and through the NATO SET-185 group on high grazing angle sea-clutter. This talk discusses the modelling of this data set and its application to realistic sea-clutter simulation and performance prediction modelling.
