Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Doppler radar is one of the most used radar technologies for security and surveillance applications. The Doppler effect is the effect due to the motion of either source or observer, which causes a shift in the frequency. This frequency shift depends on the relative radial velocity. The transmitted wave may be electromagnetic or acoustic. Doppler radar systems have been used in weather, navigation, healthcare and surveillance. The micro-Doppler effect is the additional frequency modulation due to the motion or rotation of a target which generates side bands about the central Doppler frequency. The central Doppler frequency corresponds to speed of the core body part. Micro-motion of a target or its body parts can induce the micro-Doppler effect. The target characteristics can be identified by the micro-Doppler signatures. Recent applications of micro-Doppler effect to radar technology include classification of targets, classification of human activities and in-house healthcare.
The aim of this Special Issue is to include studies that cover recent advances in Doppler radar system, methods and its applications. In addition, we expect the implementation of multi-role sensor and advanced radar signal processing for Doppler radar. For this Special Issue, we also welcome the application of deep learning and micro-Doppler analysis to the radar system.
We invite all researchers and scientists to submit papers for this Special issue and share their ongoing research and the outcomes.
The topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Pulse-Doppler radar;
- Coherent pulsed radar;
- Signal processing for Doppler radar;
- Weather radar;
- Meteorological radar;
- Micro-Doppler effect in radar;
- Deep learning for Doppler radar.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
