Retrospective View on 100 years of radar 50 years radar in EuMC 1st European Radar Conference (EuRAD2004)

by Prof.Dr. Leo P Ligthart Chairman EuRAD2004 October 2019

Introduction Radar

Ø European Microwave Conference (EuMC) started in 1969 Ø Microwaves in radar got much attention in all EuMC Ø Evolutions in radar after 1969 Ø From radio detection and ranging of objects to Ø quasi-instantaneous wide-band object sensing in Ø amplitude, phase and polarization Ø From analogue to (partly) digital signal processing Ø From monodisciplinary to interdisciplinary Radar systems issues in EuMC in the last 30 years v Modular (UWB and multi-band) radar subsystems v Advanced antenna arrays including integrated array processing v Digital radar waveform generation at transmit and digital IF processing at receive v Progress on radar systems and networks with integrated communication functions in military (including security) and civilian applications v Space-, air-, earth-based and subsurface UWB remote sensing radar

1st European Radar Conference (1)

• Last 30 years military and civil radar innovations in Europe liberated our

initiative for establishing an annual European radar conference

• Growth in radar paper submissions from Asia in EuMC gave support for our

initiative in which more Asian contributions could be accepted

• The 1st European Radar Conference (EuRAD) was held in 2004 and integrated

within the structure of European Microwave Week (EuMW)

• 1st EuMW was organized in Amsterdam in 1998. The 7th EuMW (2004) returned

to Amsterdam with EuRAD2004 as big innovation

• EuRAD2004 run from 14 till 15 October 2004
• EuRAD covers microwaves subjects for military and civil radar dealing with

technologies up to systems and applications

• EuRAD focuses on interdisciplinary activities in radar developments allowing for

novel applications of microwave technologies in radar systems

Remember: 2004 is exactly 100 years after the invention of radar

.

1st European Radar Conference (2)

In 1904 the German inventor Christian Hülsmeyer patented his ‘telemobiloscope’ Demo’s of his apparatus in 1904: detection of ships on the river Rhine in Cologne and Rotterdam Exactly 100 years after this invention the European Radar Conference (EuRAD) has its birth in Amsterdam

• n Thursday October 14, 2004

Establishing EuRAD was discussed by me in the 2001 EuMA Board meeting Decision EuMA Board: 2002

EuRAD2004 conclusion

The launch of EuRAD 2004 was extraordinary and beyond my expectabon

• Historical Radar Booth as part of EuRAD2004
• Exactly 100 years aker the German Chrisban Hülsmeyer established his first

patent on radar

• Historical booth showed 100 year’s history of radar and the Dutch

contribubon to this history

• Radar start in The Netherlands by Hülsmeyer’s demonstrabons in 1904
• Book on the Dutch contribubon to the history of radar was gik for all

EuMW2004 delegates

• Excursion to the LCF (modern air command frigate of the Royal Dutch Navy) in Amsterdam

harbor) equipped with an acbve phased array radar and a surveillance radar with digital beamforming

• Workshop

Integrated Topside Design

• EuRAD Radar Award ($5000)

sponsored by Raytheon

• EuRAD laid the basis for

largest Radar conference

• EuRAD support by major

companies and insbtutes
