Title: Research on Focus-before-detection
Abstract: 
The modern radar target and detection environment are becoming increasingly challenging. The main challenges of target characteristics, as well as the environment, can be summarized formodern radar as follows: high speed, low radar cross section, strong maneuver, far range, strong clutter and jamming. It is attractive to ask whether we can improve radar ability in a troublesome environment by changing its radar signal processing (RSP) without changing system parameters.The researchers do research in three related aspects for modern RSP, the accurate environment sensing from echoes, the effective resource management for optimization and the focus-before-detection. The task of the focus-before-detectionis to use the auxiliary sensing information and the optimized system resources to improve the radar performance. In this report, we will discuss the development and challenges of the focus-before-detection.
Biography: 
Jibin Zheng. He has accomplished his doctoral degree in signal and information processing from Xidian University, Xi’an, China, in 2015, and is currently an associate professor in National Laboratory of Radar Signal Processing, Xidian University. From September 2012 to September 2014, he worked as a Visiting Ph.D. at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Duke University, Durham, NC, USA. His research interests include synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and inverse SAR signal processing, high-speed target detection, cognitive radar, time–frequency analysis, sparse Bayes learning, sparse signal recovery and KA-clutter suppression. Within the last five years, he has successfully published more than 20 articles in the research area of the focus-before-detection as the first and corresponding author. One of his works is awarded as Excellent Natural and Scientific Academic Paper Award of Shaanxi Province. In 2018, he worked as the chair to hold the Electronic and Information Engineering Young Scholars’ Symposium.
