Principali attività di ricerca
Studio dei noise radar. La Noise Radar Technology (NRT) è una tecnologia radar che impiega in trasmissione una forma d’onda rumorosa. In ricezione si applica un’elaborazione coerente degli echi, utilizzando generalmente una linea di ritardo assieme ad un algoritmo di autocorrelazione. In via di principio, rispetto ai sistemi radar tradizionali, è possibile ottenere una ricezione coerente ottima con alta compressione e funzione di ambiguità priva di lobi laterali. Sono state studiate forme d’onda non deterministiche attraverso la modulazione casuale di fase per ottenere segnali con buone prestazione in termini di auto e cross correlazione.
Criteri di progetto per un sistema radar multifunzionale a phased array (MPAR). La ricerca nasce con l’intento di studiare i principali aspetti progettuali rilevanti dei radar multifunzionali civili a phased array (Multifunction Phased Array Radar, MPAR). In particolare è stata sviluppata la fase relativa allo studio delle forme d’onda deterministiche (pulse compression) da impiegare per le differenti funzionalità del sistema con attenzione alla funzione meteo.
Analisi delle interferenze mutue dei radar marittimi. Nell’ambito dei radar marini di bordo gli effetti delle reciproche interferenza (asincrone) sulla rivelazione dei bersagli dipendono da molte variabili, spesso difficili da modellizzare, principalmente legate all’ambiente ed alle condizioni specifiche del traffico navale. L’attività di ricerca riguarda l’evoluzione dei sistemi di controllo del traffico marittimo sottolineando alcune potenziali limitazioni dovute all’impiego dei radar marini di nuova generazione con tecnologia a stato solido.

Main research activities
Noise Radar Technology.It is a radar technology that uses noisy waveforms in transmission. In principle, in comparison with the traditional radar systems, it is possible to obtain an optimal coherent reception with high compression and ambiguity function without sidelobes. Non-deterministic waveforms were studied through random phase modulation to obtain signals with good performance in terms of auto and cross correlation.
Design criteria for a multi-phased array radar system (MPAR).The aim of the research is to study the main relevant design aspects of Multifunction Phased Array Radar (MPAR). In particular, the study of deterministic waveforms (pulse compression) was developed to be used for the different functionality of the system, focusing the attention on the weather functions.
Analysis of mutual interference among maritime radars.In the on board marine radar the effect due to mutual (asynchronous) interferences on the detection of targets depend on many factors, often difficult to model, mainly related to the environment and to the specific conditions of the marine traffic. The research activity concerns the evolution of maritime traffic control systems, underlining some potential limitations due to the use of new generation marine radars with transmitters based on solid-state technology.
Editorial activity.He is reviewer for the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems.
