Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Forward-looking radar, usually designed to achieve tasks such as imaging and detection for the targets within the forward-looking area of a moving platform, has important application potential in the fields of aircraft autonomous landing, autonomous navigation, reconnaissance and guidance, and automotive assisted driving.

Based on the differences in application scenarios and software/hardware resources, forward-looking radar involves various radar systems, such as bistatic/multistatic forward-looking SAR, multichannel/MIMO/array radar, scanning radar, mono-pulse radar, etc., and has developed rapidly in recent years.

Different forward-looking radar systems have different echo laws, and there are also significant differences in the signal processing techniques involved, which are mainly reflected in imaging algorithms, super-resolution processing, target detection and tracking, parameter estimation and motion compensation, and anti-interference techniques.

This Special Issue aims to gather the latest research results and highlight the advances of forward-looking radar in various applications, including both military use and a broad spectrum of civilian applications.

Topics include, but are not limited, to:

  • Forward-looking radar system (bistatic/multistatic SAR, multichannel/MIMO/array radar, scanning radar, mono-pulse radar……)
  • Forward-looking imaging
  • Super-resolution
  • Target detection and tracking
  • Parameter estimation and motion compensation
  • Anti-interference
  • Related signal processing technologies of forward-looking radar
  • Applications of forward-looking radar

Amplification of wideband high-frequency and microwave signals is a fundamental element within every high-frequency circuit and device. Ultra-wideband (UWB) sensor applications use circuits designed for their specific application. The article presents the analysis, design, and implementation of ultra-wideband differential amplifiers for M-sequence-based UWB applications. The designed differential amplifiers are based on the Cherry–Hooper structure and are implemented in a low-cost 0.35 µm SiGe BiCMOS semiconductor process. The article presents an analysis and realization of several designs focused on different modifications of the Cherry–Hooper amplifier structure. The proposed amplifier modifications are focused on achieving the best result in one main parameter’s performance. Amplifier designs modified by capacitive peaking to achieve the largest bandwidth, amplifiers with the lowest possible noise figure, and designs focused on achieving the highest common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) are described. The layout of the differential amplifiers was created and the chip was manufactured and wire-bonded to the QFN package. For evaluation purposes, a high-frequency PCB board was designed. Schematic simulations, post-layout simulations, and measurements of the individual parameters of the designed amplifiers were performed. The designed and fabricated ultra-wideband differential amplifiers have the following parameters: a supply current of 100–160 mA at −3.3 V or 3.3 V, bandwidth from 6 to 12 GHz, gain (at 1 GHz) from 12 to 16 dB, noise figure from 7 to 13 dB, and a common mode rejection ratio of up to 70 dB.
