Abstract

Distributed airborne sensor geometries are considered that are comprised of multiple radar/comm transmit and receive nodes. Under this distributed robotic sensor concept, each of these radar transmit/receive nodes position-adaptively converge to the vicinity of a signal leakage point. A number of signal leakage point geometries are investigated that conform to geometries for typical building-type structures. The results include a set of electromagnetic computations that simulate the signal interaction and signal propagation between multiple leakage points. These signals are simulated via the modeling of materials that enclose "building-type" structures with a series of connected dielectric materials. For example, windows, walls, and doors are each modeled separately by a combination of suitable material properties. Signals from objects that are embedded within these "building-type" structures are also simulated via the development and application of appropriate geometrical and materials models. Analysis of the resulting simulated "leakage signals", that penetrate the surfaces of these "building-type" structures and are scattered from embedded objects within the indoor environment back to the simulated sensor-nodes in the outdoor environment, are presented. Interpretations of these results are included from a signal analysis perspective. These results also include approximate preliminary systems-type calculations with regard to this distributed position-adaptive UAV radar system concept. Potential applications are outdoor-to-indoor detection of objects-of-interest that are within a building via implementation of a intelligent multi-static sensor network.
