Signal and Sensors Research Group

Our Research Focus

We develop novel algorithms, systems, and mathematical methodologies across the full radar and sensing pipeline — from waveform optimization and hardware prototyping to advanced statistical detectors and model-aided deep learning.

Core Methodological Frameworks

Click each research thrust to expand detailed mathematical signal models, hardware specifications, and specific investigative thrusts.

Our primary research thrust develops and analyses a channel matrix-based data model for MIMO radar and sonar. Unlike conventional covariance-based approaches, this framework explicitly captures the linear time-varying channel between transmit waveforms and received signals, enabling more expressive clutter models and tighter statistical bounds. We derive GLRT detectors, study their asymptotic distributions, and compare channel matrix and covariance-based clutter representations across a range of operational scenarios.
