WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a high-resolution radar imaging technique used in airborne and spaceborne radars. In recent years TNO has developed a novel compact airborne radar called AMBER, Affordable Multi-Beam Radar. This multi-channel radar is much smaller than existing systems with comparable performance and its development aims at small and unmanned aircraft (UAV). Furthermore, novel radar imaging modes have been demonstrated exploiting the 24 receive channels in this system Many more radar modes have been conceived, but have not yet been implemented.
The goal of this assignment is to implement a so-called Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar mode for high resolution imaging of moving ships or vehicles from the air. The algorithms must be defined, implemented and tested on previously recorded flight data. Depending on the duration of the assignment, the work may include participation in conducting new (flight) tests and processing of the resulting data.
The duration of this internship is at least 3 months.
WHAT DO WE REQUIRE OF YOU?
