Dr. Daniel W. O'Hagan Department of Passive Systems FGAN
This interactive workshop sets the scene for a fictional scenario that requires use of a radar for the surveillance of a site of strategic significance and value. This workshop provides a detailed description of the surveillance problem and states the reasons why a bi-static radar is considered for deployment. All the relevant theory necessary to complete this workshop is presented in the accompanying lecture slides.
The working group will be tasked with evaluating the potential performance of a bi-static radar to address the stated requirements. Tasks will include a theoretical analysis of the signals of opportunity and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
The tasks in this workshop will exercise most of the practical considerations that must be undertaken with a passive radar design. They are tailored to be completed by those who have no particular prior knowledge of bi-static radar systems. However, by the end of the workshop the participants should have a solid comprehension of the principles and practice of bi-static radar.
This session is designed to be a highly interactive group that will enable participants to understand the evolution and theory of bi-static radars from an elementary perspective, the experience of which can in turn be applied to a host of other sensing applications and technologies.
Daniel W. O'Hagan Ph.D. has been with the University College London (UCL) Radar and Sensors Group for four years. Currently he is employed as a research scientist at the Research Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques (FGAN), Bonn, Germany. Dr. O'Hagan's research is principally concerned with bi-static and passive bi-static radar analysis and development. O'Hagan is a member of the IEEE and IET and is a former IET scholarship holder. He is also a former recipient of the A. H. W. Beck memorial award from UCL. O'Hagan is a former president of the UCL Centre for Security and Crime Science (CSCS) post-graduate club and currently represents German interests at the NATO SET-108 group
