OFDM Radar Onboard Moving Platform for GMTI

Typical scenarios for Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) involve networks of moving nodes, such as UAVs, aircraft, or vehicles, that transmit waveforms enabling both inter-node communication and radar-based surveillance. In this context, Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) waveforms offer a unified solution for supporting wireless communication alongside ground moving target indication (GMTI), i.e., the detection of targets moving on or above the surface across wide mon...

OFDM Radar Based on Communications Signals of Opportunity

This chapter illustrates innovative signal processing techniques and architectures for radar systems based on the exploitation of opportunistic communication signals, namely WiFi and DVB-T OFDM signals. It covers three different applications and operational scenarios where these systems can be effectively employed for surveillance purposes, namely (i) short range monitoring based on WLAN transmissions, (ii) radar systems on board of moving platforms, and (iii) low-cost forward scatter radar s...

Text as Data

Methods of text as data convert a large quantity of inherently unstructured text into structured data to be analyzed through statistical models. This group of techniques has been at the forefront of the latest methodological developments in comparative politics in recent years. However, their usage in the study for the study of international relations and foreign policy has been much more limited. The aim of this chapter is showing how text as data methods can be employed to address fundament...

Voting on the use of armed force: Challenges of data indexing, classification, and the value of a comparative agenda

Connecting to recent debate and the growing attention to the party politics of foreign policy, the chapter introduces the content and methodology of the Parliamentary Deployment Votes Database, which collects votes on military missions across a set of eleven countries in Europe and America. The chapter discusses the problems related to defining the scope of the database against divergent voting practices in national parliaments and disparate data availability, a.k.a. defining what matters in ...

Italian foreign policy: still the days seem the same?

This chapter examines change in Italian foreign policy since the end of the Cold War and its drivers. The most fundamental alteration during this period concerns the area of security and defense. Italy abandoned its reluctance to send its troops abroad and participated to a remarkable number of military interventions, including those in Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq. In our opinion, shifts in both international and domestic politics are the crucial explanatory factors. The alternation between...
