Cours/TD/TP/projet/examen :Learning objectives
Radar part :
o Develop and evaluate positioning systems in multiple environments and multiple stresses.
o Understand the general principles of the radar: Radar classification, Equation of the radar, Radar Cross Section, Doppler filtering for detection of moving targets.
o Know the problem of detection, false alarm and clutter. Become an expert of the architecture of specific radars (pulse compression, Doppler pulse radar, monopulse radar and synthetic aperture radar or SAR).
o Address some applications on avionics systems and acquire some knowledge of radar imagery and its associated signal processing.
Geolocalization courses:
• Introduction: Geolocalization history and concept (1h30 )
• Study of positioning systems technologies (Sensors networks, telecommunication networks, IR, RFID, radar, wifi, Mobile phone, inertial systems) (6h00)
• Indoor and GNSS (1h30 )
• Tutorial : Indoor and outdoor maps techniques, (3h00 -)
• Tutorial: GPS devices uses (3h00 –)
• Training : Implementation of indoor and outdoor positioning on Smartphone (or other device), evaluation of operating parameters, problematic of data fusion (5x3h00)
Prerequisites
Equivalent M1 scientifique

Content
• Understand the strengths and limitations of different geolocalization systems
• Implement experiments related to geolocalization from a mobile device
• Evaluate the performance of a geolocalization system and conceptualize this assessment using experimental data extracted from field-deployed equipment
• Compare geolocation methods according to several criteria (accuracy, reliability, cost, adaptation, dependence on the environment)
• Handle the coordinate system conversions
• Analyze the calculation of a position error
• Size a radar (range, power, resolution)
• Characterize simple target’s RCS and understand a SAR radar working
• Acquire the basics of radars for avionics and the satellite imaging
Assessment formula
written exam, lab works grades and project presentation
1st session = weighted average: 2 written exams (C1 on Radar and C2 on Localization systems) and continuous control (CC).
CC = weighted average (Lab works grades and project presentation)
2nd session = 1 written exam (C2)
Final grade = weighted average (CC, Sup (Average(C1 Radar, C1 Localization), C2))
Pedagogical methods
Cours magistraux pour exposer les principes.
Cours intégrés pour les comprendre théoriquement.
Mini projet pour les mettre en œuvre.
