Enhancing Fourier-based Doppler Resolution with Diffusion Models

In radar systems, high resolution in the Doppler dimension is important for detecting slow-moving targets as it allows for more distinct separation between these targets and clutter, or stationary objects. However, achieving sufficient resolution is constrained by hardware capabilities and physical factors, leading to the development of processing techniques to enhance the resolution after acquisition. In this work, we leverage artificial intelligence to increase the Doppler resolution in range-Doppler maps. Based on a zero-padded FFT, a refinement via the generative neural networks of diffusion models is achieved. We demonstrate that our method overcomes the limitations of traditional FFT, generating data where closely spaced targets are effectively separated.

QoS based resource management for concurrent operation using MCTS

Modern AESA technology enables RF systems to not only perform various radar, communication and electronic warfare tasks on a single aperture, but even to execute multiple tasks concurrently. These capabilities increase system complexity and require intelligent or cognitive resource management. This paper introduces such a resource management framework based on quality of service based resource allocation and Monte Carlo tree search allowing for optimal system usage and profound decision-making. Furthermore, we present experimental verification in a complex application scenario.

A resource management approach for concurrent operation of RF functionalities

Future multifunction RF systems will be able to not only perform various different radar, communication and electronic warfare functionalities but also to perform them simultaneously on the same aperture. This ability of concurrent operations requires new, cognitive approaches of resource management compared to classical methods. This paper presents such a new approach using a combination of quality of service based resource management and Monte Carlo tree search.
