Applications and Signal Processing Methods of Radar Technology - Interactive curriculae of TU Ilmenau

The module Applications and Signal Processing Methods of Radar Technology with the examination number 210549 completes with the following examination parts:

• Oral examination (30 minutes) with a weighting of 70% (examination number: 2101094)
• alternative semester accompanying course achievement with a weighting of 30% (examination number: 2101095)

Detail of examination part 2 (alternative semester accompanying course achievement):

In the course of the exercise, the students prepare a topic related to applications and signal processing methods of radar technology from a given pool of topics. The topic is prepared in the form of a presentation (20 minutes) and presented to the other students at the end of the lecture. The presentation will be graded by the lecturer, the grade will be 30% of the overall grade.

Dieses Modul enthält mindestens eine alternative semesterbegleitende Abschlussleistung. Bitte beachten Sie, dass diese in der Regel schon zu Beginn des Semesters, in dem diese angeboten wird, angemeldet werden muss.
Über die Details und Zeiträume dazu werden Sie vom Lehrenden und/oder dem Prüfungsamt informiert. Fragen Sie gegebenenfalls unbedingt beim Lehrenden nach.

This module contains at least one alternative exam part. Please note that this must usually be registered at the beginning of the semester in which it is offered.
The lecturer and/or the examination office will inform you about the details and time periods. If necessary, be sure to ask the lecturer.

Fundamentals of electromagnetic waves, fundamentals of microwave engineering, fundamentals of signals and systems, fundamentals of digital signal processing, fundamentals of adaptive and array signal processing.

Students are familiar with various applications of radar systems and know which specifics must be taken into account when designing the systems. They confidently master various signal processing techniques used in radar systems to achieve higher resolution of radar targets along range and angle, to achieve imaging of terrain and targets, and to analyze physical effects occurring at targets. They know the specifics of bistatic, multistatic and passive configurations and are able to account for them in signal processing. They can independently differentiate between the advantages and disadvantages of using various analog and digital waveforms and design them according to a given application scenario. By studying a topic in-depth, they are able to autonomously explore a signal processing method or an application of radar technology in detail and are able to communicate this to an audience in a comprehensible manner.
