Because of the coronavirus pandemic, all lectures and tutorials will be held via digital / online material. As soon as we are allowed, we will return to normal face-to-face teaching. All digital media is provided in English language whereas the descriptive audio in the webinars is German. Online Q&A-Sessions will be held for non-German speaking students (e.g. students of ASC study programme).

To access the provided digital lecture media please join the StudOn-Course „Vorlesung und Übung DSR“

Wegen der Corona-Pandemie werden alle Vorlesungen und Übungen zunächst ausschließlich über Online-Angebote durchgeführt. Alle Informationen, Vorlesungs- und Übungsaufzeichnungen/Webinare und Materialien für diese Vorlesung stehen auf StudOn zur Verfügung. Die Vorlesungsmaterialien sind in Englisch verfasst, die Audiokommentierung der Folien erfolgt jedoch in Deutsch. Für Studierende ohne Deutschkenntnisse (z.B. Studierende im Studiengang ASC) werden zusätzliche Frage&Anwort-Webmeetings angeboten.

Bitte treten Sie dem StudOn-Kurs „Vorlesung und Übung DSR“ bei, um Zugriff auf die Vorlesungsmaterialien zu erhalten.

Requirements:

• Passive Bauelemente und deren HF-Verhalten

• Signale und Systeme

This course is held in English. Except for the lecture language RWS is an identical replacement of the former course “Drahtlose Sensoren, Radar- und RFID-Systeme – DSR”. Like before, it is an elective module especially recommended for EEI students (Bachelor and Master) as well as "Vertiefungsmodul" for Mechatronik with the specialization "5 Radar-, Funk- und Photoniksysteme".

Title:

Radar systems for environmental diagnostics and traffic

Credits: 5

Prerequisites

Physics
Microwave Engineering

Contents

The interaction between the earth's atmosphere, its surface and traffic objects therein with electro-magnetic waves in transmission, reflection and emission can be utilized for the measurement of object and earth data as climatic parameters and their changes. The balance between natural sun in-radiation and earth's ex-radiation, which for instance is stronger at microwave frequencies, is important here. This is fundamental for infrared and microwave radiometry. On the other hand, the radar/lidar illuminates an object with coherent radiation and measures the parts reflected and scattered at the object. Using a synthetic aperture for a microwave radar a resolution comparable with visual techniques is achievable even when pictures are taken from satellites. Current results like global ozone distribution, glacier heights, changes in vegetation, e.g. from the data transmitted by the environmental monitoring satellite ERS-1, are presented. Finally, spectrally resolved radiometry at Terahertz frequencies as a measurement method for pollution and ozone in the stratosphere is explained.
