Editors and ContributorsxxiDr. Kristin BingChapter 14 – Automatic Target RecognitionKristin F. Bing is a GTRI research engineer with experience in signal and image processingapplied to radar and medical ultrasound. Her current research efforts include space-time adaptiveprocessing, ground moving target identification, and synthetic aperture radar. She regularlyteaches in Georgia Tech short courses on various radar topics and is an active member of IEEE.Prof. François Le ChevalierChapter 11 – Space-time Coding for Active Antenna SystemsFrançois Le Chevalier is Scientific Director of Thales Air Operations Division, and Professor,“Radar Systems Engineering”, at Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands). Mr. LeChevalier pioneered the French developments in adaptive digital beamforming and STAP radarsystems demonstrations, and shared RF apertures concepts design and experimental validation.An author of many papers, tutorials, and patents in radar and electronic warfare, also active inmost International Radar Conferences Program Committees, Prof. Le Chevalier is the author ofa book on “Radar and Sonar Signal Processing Principles” published by Artech House in 2002,and editor of “Non-Standard Antennas”, published by Wiley in 2011.Dr. Fabiola ColoneChapter 17 – Advanced Processing Methods for Passive Bistatic Radar SystemsFabiola Colone received the laurea degree in Communication Engineering and the Ph.D. degreein Remote Sensing from the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, Rome, Italy, in 2002 and 2006,respectively. Her research interests include passive coherent location (PCL), multi-channel adaptivesignal processing, and space-time adaptive processing (STAP) with application to mono- andbi-static radar systems. She is involved in scientific research projects funded by the EuropeanUnion, the Italian Space Agency, the Italian Ministry of Research, and the Italian Industry. Her researchhas been reported in over 60 publications in international technical journals and conferenceproceedings. Dr. Colone served in the technical committee of many international conferences onradar systems. She was in the organizing committee, as the Student Forum Co-Chair, of the IEEE2008 Radar Conference (Rome, Italy). She is member of the Editorial Board of the InternationalJournal of Electronics and Communications (AEÜ) (Elsevier) since October 2011.Mr. Daniel A. CookChapter 6 – Spotlight Synthetic Aperture RadarDan Cook has over 10 years of experience in the fields of synthetic aperture radar and sonar. He isa Senior Research Engineer at GTRI specializing in signal processing for coherent imaging andadaptive filtering with application to synthetic aperture imaging, interferometry, coherent changedetection, and image quality assessment.Mr. Michael DavisChapter 4 – MIMO RadarMike Davis has been a research engineer at GTRI’s Sensors and Electromagnetic ApplicationsLaboratory since 2008. He was previously employed at the General Dynamics Michigan Researchand Development center, which was formerly ERIM. His research interests involve the applicationof statistical signal processing techniques to problems in radar.
