Radar System Modeling with MATLAB
Overview
Please join us for a seminar on multiple wireless topics of interest in the aerospace and defense industry, including:
Modeling Antennas, RCS, and RF Propagation in MATLAB
Learn how to design, simulate, and visualize antennas by computing radiation patterns, impedance, s-parameters using a menu of computational electromagnetic solvers (e.g. MoM, FMM, PO).
Modeling Phased Arrays and Radar RF Chain in MATLAB
We will cover MATLAB tools for modeling phased arrays in the context of radar systems and their various internal subsystems - waveforms, Tx/Rx phased array geometries & antenna element radiation patterns, phased array beamforming, radar signal processing (e.g. range-Doppler maps).
Sensor Fusion and Tracking for Surveillance Systems
This seminar showcases how MATLAB and Simulink can be used to design, simulate, and test surveillance systems using data from a myriad of sensors.
Highlights
Modeling Antennas, RCS, and RF Propagation in MATLAB
- Overview of key EM computational features for designing and modeling antennas
- RF propagation and ray tracing computations and visualizations on a 3D geographic globe
