Research Activity

My research activities focus on problems of statistical signal processing with particular attention to radar applications.

The main past and present research themes can be grouped as follows:

Modeling and statistical analysis of recorded live sea and ground radar clutter data , in both monostatic and bistatic systems, passive and active.
This activity has been partially supported over the year by the projects “Novel methodologies for the integration, processing, and analysis of data from spaceborne sensors for the monitoring of the hydrosphere, rainfall phenomena, and of the groundfunded by the Italian Space Agency (ASI), and AFOSR grant on "High resolution radar clutter analysis and modelling for advanced target detection strategies". This topic, particularly regarding passive radars, has been one of main focuses of the NATO SET-164 and NATO SET-207 for which Dr. Greco is the Italian Representative. This research activity has produced over the years many publications in cooperation with researchers of Alenia-Marconi Systems-Finmeccanica, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, TRW, Defense Research Establishment Ottawa (DREO), University College London (UCL), University of Cape Town (UCT).
Optimum, adaptive and robust detection and estimation of radar signals in non-Gaussian clutter.
This research activity has been carried out in cooperation with researchers of Alenia-Marconi Systems (now SELEX-SI), Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI).
Detection and estimation of multiple radar targets
This work has been funded by Alenia-Marconi Systems (AMS) through the contract “Non Cooperative Target Recognition.
Radar detection of deception jamming signals
This work has been funded by Alenia Marconi Systems (AMS) through the contract “Radar detection in presence of deception signals”.
Cognitive radars and waveform diversity.
This work has been first funded by European Office of Aerospace Research and Development, through the project “ Waveform diversity and design for interoperating radar system ” then through the project “Waveform Diversity and Frequency Sharing Techniques for Cognitive Radar Systems ” and by SELEX-ES, Rome, Italy, through the project FARADAYS, "Frequency Sharing Techniques for Future Radars".
