Active pixel sensor

An active-pixel sensor (APS), also commonly written active pixel sensor, is an image sensor consisting of an integrated circuit containing an array of pixel sensors, each pixel containing a photodetector and an active amplifier. There are many types of active pixel sensors including the CMOS APS used most commonly in cell phone cameras, web cameras and in some DSLRs. Such an image sensor is produced by a CMOS process (and is hence also known as a CMOS sensor), and has emerged as an alternative to charge-coupled device (C ....etc

It is an undeniable fact that the human-being represent the weakest page link in the Driver-vehicle Environment interactive system and that it is urgently necessary to adopt automotive engineering, even more closely to limited human capabilities.


Among the various Automobile technologies of tile 90's one of biggest boon has been in the suspension systems. The earlier suspension systems consisting of a combination of leaf springs, coil springs, special suspension mountings or replaced now by the new ?Active Electrically ....etc

Abstract:
Due to the threat of terrorism, today's enemy can be anyone and they can exist anywhere even in populated cities. Monitoring human activities in an urban environment is a difficult problem due walls, clutter, and other obstructions. This seminar discusses the development of a network of digital noise radars that operate simultaneously to track humans and non-human targets inside rooms and through walls. Each individual noise radar works by cross correlating the received signal with a time delayed replica of the transmit signal. A hi ....etc

MIMO RADAR SIGNAL PROCESSING:MIMO as a Distributed Radar System
ABSTRACT:

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar has been receiving increasing attention in recent years from researchers, practitioners, and funding agencies. MIMO radar is characterized by using multiple antennas to simultaneously transmit diverse (possibly linearly independent) waveforms and by utilizing multiple antennas to receive the reflected signals. Like MIMO communications, MIMO radar offers a new paradigm for signal processing research. MIMO radar possesses sig ....etc

Adaptive active phased array radars are seen as the vehicle to address the current requirements for true ?multifunction? radars systems. Their ability to adapt to the enviournment and schedule their tasks in real time allows them to operate with performance levels well above those that can be achieved from the conventional radars.

Their ability to make effective use of all the available RF power and to minimize RF losses also makes them a good candidate for future very long range radars. The AAPAR can provide many benefit in meeting the pe ....etc

Radar Guns and Laser radar Guns


This is the age of speed. We can see people zipping down the highways at unimaginable speed. Long before the invention of radar guns in 1970's and laser speed guns in 1990's the police had a very tedious job in detecting those vehicles which where driven at over speed. The radar gun emits microwaves and works on the principle of radar where as the laser gun emits infrared rays and gives more accurate readings than the radar gun. The invention of the radar guns and the laser guns have proved to be a great ble ....etc

GRIFO Radar: High-resolution modes for an expert avionic radar for fighters

Vaibhav Prajapati (07BEC131)
Chitrang Shah (07BEC093)



Abstract—

The need for the implementation of high-resolution modes, with seaborne targets identification for the Italian Navy, pushed to the extension of the Grifo Radar to high-resolution applications.With the new capability, making use of the Deramp On Receive technique, Grifo Radar can now perform Spot-SAR on ground patch as well as ISAR upon A/A and A/S tar ....etc

Seminar on Active Microwave Radar


What can we measure?

Satellite height
Significant wave height
Wind Speed

Aliasing

The altimeter measures sea level once every repeat period (except at cross-over points)
If we have a high frequency signal which we measure at a low frequency we get aliasing
Because of the way the altimeter lays down its tracks these aliased signals appear to move

RADAR AND SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR BASICS
PRINCIPLES OF RADAR
HOW DOES RADAR WORK?
• RADAR = Radio Detection And Ranging
• Since radar pulses propagate at the speed of light, the difference to the “target” is proportional to the time it takes between the transmit event and reception of the radar echo
