Guide to the 2003 IEEE Radar Conference May 5-8, 2003 Marriott Hotel Huntsville, Alabama Sponsored by The Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society, IEEE Huntsville Section, and IEEE Region 3 ae s s T030434a.ai IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society The IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society has established The IEEE Aerospace and Electronics Systems Society (AESS) Radar Conferences, which include this IEEE Radar Conference and the International Radar Conference. The purpose of the conferences is to advance the theory and practice of radar systems and technology through the medium of technical meetings and publications. The field of radar systems is defined as the synthesis, analysis, design, development, integration and operation of radar systems for space, air, sea or ground environments, for defense or civilian purposes. The International Radar Conference is sponsored by the IEEE/AESS Radar Systems Panel (RSP) and is supported by the National Capital Area Council of the IEEE. The IEEE Radar Conference is supported by the RSP and is supported by the local IEEE Section where the conference is held. The IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society is a society, within the framework of the IEEE, of members with professional interests in the organization, design, development, integration and operation of complex systems for space, air, ocean or ground environments. These systems include, but are not limited to, navigation, avionics, spacecraft, aerospace power, radar, sonar, telemetry, defense, transportation, automated testing, and command and control. All members of the IEEE are eligible for membership in the Society. The IEEE website is http://www.ieee.org. The website may be referenced for information on becoming a member. Publication Information: The 2003 IEEE Radar Conference Proceedings is a publication of the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society and is published in conformance with and pursuant to the policies of the Society. Responsibility for the contents of each article in the Conference Proceedings publication rests upon the author, and not upon the IEEE, the Society/Council, or its members.

It is my sincere hope and expectation that you will find the next few days to be a rewarding experience for you as we learn about the work being done in radar by our colleagues all over the world Bob McMillan and as we renew old friendships and Conference Chair acquaintances. In keeping with the heritage of Huntsville as a key center in the history of space exploration, the theme of this year’s meeting is Radar – Exploring the Universe. Although we haven’t yet received radar signals from outside our solar system, this year’s theme encourages us to expand our vision to include ways that radar technology can impact our society, Planet Earth, our solar system, and the universe in the 21st century through new, creative, and exciting applications. The organizing committee has planned a meeting, which will include formal high quality technical sessions, tutorials, and exhibits, as well as informal gatherings to focus on topics of interest that will expand each attendees’ knowledge and unite us in exploring new ideas of mutual interest. We continue to expand the tutorial program that has become a vital part of the conference experience in this series of meetings. This year we are offering four tutorials on Monday evening and eight on Thursday morning and afternoon. New topics this year include Radar Analysis Using MATLAB, Kalman Filters, Adaptive Beamforming, and Electromagnetic Analysis. It’s not too late to sign up for one or more of these courses. Due to generous grants from the Army Research Office and the National Science Foundation, we are once again able to provide support for students who are US citizens to attend this conference. Several students will be presenting poster papers, and I encourage all attendees to stop by the student posters area and ask questions about the excellent work they are doing so that they may be encouraged to pursue careers in radar engineering. We need their fresh ideas and insights. As in prior years, we will honor the best of our profession at our awards banquet where we will present the Fred Nathanson Memorial Radar Award to a young radar engineer and the annual IEEE Warren White Award for excellence in radar engineering. We will also recognize new IEEE Fellows and the IEEE Region 3 Employer Performance Development Award. 1 Welcome from the General Chair (concluded) We will have 20 exhibitors at this year’s conference. I encourage all attendees to visit the exhibits and discuss the outstanding products and services provided by our exhibitors, who have contributed significantly to this conference both monetarily and by showing their radar-related products. I am deeply honored to serve as General Chair for this year’s IEEE Radar Conference. I would like to acknowledge the contributions of the members of the organizing committee for their hard work, their attention to detail, and their good humor. It is my great pleasure to acknowledge with gratitude generous grants from Dynetics, Inc. and the Raytheon Company, both in Huntsville. Their interest in and concern for the success of the conference is deeply appreciated. I speak for the organizing committee and the entire Huntsville community when I say welcome to RadarCon03. We hope you have a fun, interesting, and rewarding experience. Bob McMillan 2 Welcome from the Radar Systems Panel The Huntsville Section of the IEEE, the Radar Systems Panel of the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society (AESS), and the IEEE Region 3 are pleased to co-sponsor the 2003 IEEE Radar Conference as part of an extremely successful series of radar conferences. The Radar Systems Panel is excited to add Huntsville, Alabama to
