Mathematical Foundations of Distributed Radar. Conventional military threats to Australia are large or fast moving objects such as ships and aircraft and conventional radar systems are designed to handle such threats. Recent global political shifts have changed the threats to include objects that are small and slowly moving, such as people, small vehicles and boats. Advances in radar hardware make feasible small, low-powered, devices with inherently reduced performance in comparison to deployed ....Mathematical Foundations of Distributed Radar. Conventional military threats to Australia are large or fast moving objects such as ships and aircraft and conventional radar systems are designed to handle such threats. Recent global political shifts have changed the threats to include objects that are small and slowly moving, such as people, small vehicles and boats. Advances in radar hardware make feasible small, low-powered, devices with inherently reduced performance in comparison to deployed systems. Methods for information integration over a dispersed system of such small devices, design of suitable waveform suites and clever local signal processing algorithms will be developed to achieve the performance improvements the hardware offers, to handle the new threats.Read moreRead less
Dynamical systems and iterative decoding of low-density parity-check codes. Modern telecommunication systems are increasingly built on principles of iteration and feedback. By contributing to the knowledge base of iterative telecommunication systems, this project addresses important fundamental problems in the area of telecommunications. The Federal Government has clearly indicated that it recognises the importance that information and communications technology (ICT) plays in the economic and so ....Dynamical systems and iterative decoding of low-density parity-check codes. Modern telecommunication systems are increasingly built on principles of iteration and feedback. By contributing to the knowledge base of iterative telecommunication systems, this project addresses important fundamental problems in the area of telecommunications. The Federal Government has clearly indicated that it recognises the importance that information and communications technology (ICT) plays in the economic and social fabric of Australia, through the recent Innovation Action Plan, Backing Australia's Ability. These technologies are key drivers of the information economy, the spawning of new businesses, the transformation of established industries, the opening up of new export markets, and the creation of new jobs.Read moreRead less
