Synchronizing network radar using all-in-view GPS-disciplined oscillators

JS Sandenbergh, MR Inggs - 2017 IEEE Radar Conference …, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Coherent network radar requires precise time, phase and frequency synchronisation. Time
offsets result in bistatic range errors, while phase instability affects, amongst other things, the …

A summary of the results achieved by the GPS disciplined references of the NetRAD and NeXtRAD multistatic radars

JS Sandenbergh, MR Inggs - 2019 IEEE Radar Conference …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The NetRAD multistatic radar was developed at UCL and was limited to 100 m baselines by
its cable synchronisation system. UCT contributed three low-cost quartz-based GPS …

Investigation of white rabbit for synchronization and timing of netted radar

MR Inggs, JS Sandenbergh… - 2015 IEEE Radar …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
White Rabbit (WR) emerged as an OpenSource and OpenHardware project from CERN,
due to stringent timing requirements for data recording in the Large Hadron Collider project …

Synchronising coherent networked radar using low-cost GPS-disciplined oscillators

JS Sandenbergh - 2019 - open.uct.ac.za
This text evaluates the feasibility of synchronising coherent, pulsed-Doppler, networked,
radars with carrier frequencies of a few gigahertz and moderate bandwidths of tens of …

Evaluating an off-the-shelf white rabbit system to synchronise network radar via optic fibre

S Lewis, JS Sandenbergh… - 2017 IEEE Radar …, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Networks of coherent sensors, such as radar, require precision time and frequency
synchronisation for their operation. In this paper, we evaluate the White Rabbit technology …

An adaptive distributed clock for radar networks

JS Sandenbergh, M Weiss, FV Crespi… - 2019 International …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
An adaptive distributed time, frequency, and phase synchronization system for radar
networks is described. This clock consists out of multiple identical sync-modules that provide …
