Low Probability Of Intercept

Noise radars employ random waveforms in their transmission as compared to traditional radars. Considered as enhanced Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) radars, they are resilient to interference and jamming and less vulnerable to adversarial exploitation than conventional radars. At its simplest, using a random waveform such as bandpass Gaussian noise as a probing signal provides limited radar performance. After a concise review of a particular noise radar architecture and related correlation processing, this paper justifies the rationale for having synthetic (tailored) noise waveforms and proposes the Combined Spectral Shaping and Peak-to-Average Power Reduction (COSPAR) algorithm, which can be utilized for synthesizing noise-like sequences with a Taylor-shaped spectrum under correlation sidelobe level constraints and assigned Peak-to-Average-Power-Ratio (PAPR). Additionally, the Spectral Kurtosis measure is proposed to evaluate the LPI property of waveforms, and experimental results from field trials are reported.

In defense applications, the main features of radars are the Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) and the Low Probability of Exploitation (LPE). The counterpart uses more and more capable intercept receivers and signal processors thanks to the ongoing technological progress. Noise Radar Technology (NRT) is probably a very effective answer to the increasing demand for operational LPI/LPE radars. The design and selection of the radiated waveforms, while respecting the prescribed spectrum occupancy, has to comply with the contrasting requirements of LPI/LPE and of a favorable shape of the ambiguity function. Information theory seems to be a “technologically agnostic” tool to attempt to quantify the LPI/LPE capability of noise waveforms with little, or absent, a priori knowledge of the means and the strategies used by the counterpart. An information theoretical analysis can lead to practical results in the design and selection of NRT waveforms.

The Moment

A probing signal represented by two successive radio impulses having the same amplitude, but different energies is suggested for application in pulsed nonlinear radars, while for the receiver it is suggested to perform either correlation processing or optimal filtering of each of the reflected signal components at the carrier frequency. Due to the fact that the response of the optimal filter is proportional to the energy of the pulsed signal, the response levels of the two impulses reflected from an object lacking nonlinear properties will be equal. Should an object have nonlinear properties the response levels at the optimal processing device output at certain moments of time will be different thus indicating that a nonlinear object has been detected. Since the energies of the probing signal components are equal and optimal filtration is performed when receiving the reflected signal, this ensures that the noise interference equally affects the error while comparing levels of the received signal components. Depending on the error magnitude it is necessary to select upper and lower limits of the amplitude uncertainty within which response levels can be considered different. Decision about the presence of the nonlinear object is made if the difference in response levels goes beyond these limits. Suggested below is a block diagram of a decision-making device based on a successive correlation processing of each of the received signal components where the response level of the correlator at the moment when impulse ends is stored until the time when the decision is made i.e. when the second impulse ends.

Static power reduction is a challenge in deep submicron VLSI circuits. In this paper 28T full adder circuit, 14T full adder circuit and 32 bit power gated BCD adder using the full adders respectively were designed and their average power was compared. In existing work a conventional full adder is designed using 28T and the same is used to design 32 bit BCD adder. In the proposed architecture 14T transmission gate based power gated full adder is used for the design of 32 bit BCD adder. The leakage supremacy dissipated during standby mode in all deep submicron CMOS devices is reduced using efficient power gating and multi-channel technique. Simulation results were obtained using Tanner EDA and TSMC_180nm library file is used for the design of 28T full adder, 14T full adder and power gated BCD adder and a significant power reduction is achieved in the proposed architecture.
