ECE Spring Seminar Series
NEP Speaker, Mark Govoni, Aberdeen Proving Ground
Title: Synthetic Aperture Radar
Abstract
In anticipation of a new graduate course offering focused more broadly on Radar Signal Processing (ELEG 667-010), this guest series lecture provides an overview on one of the more popular radar applications known as synthetic aperture radar or SAR as it's more commonly referred to. SAR is used to form high-resolution imagery with optics-like quality, but unlike optics, is obtainable in any day/night, inclement weather conditions at much longer collection ranges. By digitally processing phase history data over aperture samples in the moving platform's along-track dimension, several different wavefront reconstruction techniques may be utilized for creating fine cross-range resolution. Specific topics on SAR to be covered will include different SAR modalities, phenomena, and reconstruction techniques.
Bio
Mark Govoni received his Ph.D. in 2011 from Stevens Institute of Technology (Hoboken, NJ), and the M.S. and B.S.E. degrees in 2000 and 2001, respectively from Arizona State University (Tempe, AZ). He entered into civilian service as an electronics engineer in 2002 for the U.S. Army’s Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC). During his time at CERDEC, he held several positions, the last of which was the Radar Division Chief Scientist where he advised on science and technology matters relating to the Radar Division’s core mission areas including, but not limited to, assisting with strategic planning, providing technical oversight on 6.1/6.2 innovative research, and facilitating research and development agreements with university, industry, and other government organizations including the international community. In January 2017, he joined the U.S. Army Research Laboratory’s Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate and is presently serving as a Research Scientist for the Electronics and RF Division. As a Research Scientist, his interests include radar signal processing, radar phenomenology, radar waveform design, and radar system optimization techniques.
Dr. Govoni is a Fellow of the Military Sensing Symposia (MSS), a senior member of the IEEE, and a life member of the Association for Old Crows (AOC). He has authored more than 100 technical publications/documents and holds 3 patents with 8 patent applications currently under review.
