Pre-Conference Early Researcher Radar Training Workshop

Monday, 21 September 2026

The day before the U.R.S.I. Kleinheubacher Tagung 2026 (KHT2026), the national U.R.S.I. Commission-F, together with the ITG Working Group HF 5, will hold a One-day Radar-Training Workshop on Monday, 21 September 2026 from 09:00 to 18:00 at the workshop venue "Evolum", Luitpoldstraße 1, 63897 Miltenberg am Main, located within a short walking distance from the conference venues of the Kleinheubacher Conference 2026. The workshop will be financially sponsored by the URSI Landesausschuss in Deutschland e.V.

Title of the Radar-Training Workshop:

Introduction to Multiparameter Radar-Systems using Fundamentals of Radio Science and Engineering

Course description:

The workshop will provide insight into radar fundamentals that will enable the participants to understand present-day advanced multiparameter remote sensing radar systems and some of their applications in environmental remote sensing. The workshop will familiarize the participants not only with the essential radar basics but also with the established and emerging layers of functionalities, such as Doppler, polarisation-diversity, waveform methods, basics of electronic scanning, and beam-forming radar antennas. The topic coverage will therefore enable the participants to understand the concepts behind advanced radar methods that are witnessing deployment in design and conception of the next generation radar systems. The course should particularly appeal to young scientists and engineers, typically doctoral candidates, who are interested in radar remote sensing, especially in the context of environmental monitoring. The course combines oral presentations with some hands-on exercises demonstrating fundamentals of radar signal processing including SAR signal processing.

Computing requirements:

As the hands-on features make use of MATLAB, the participants are advised to bring along their laptops with the MATLAB program on them.

Admission:

The Training Workshop is open and free of cost to all participants registered for the conference and the Training Workshop. Workshop participants not registered for the conference will be charged a nominal fee. Admission to the workshop will be regulated by the workshop committee in consultation with the conference management and technical programme committee. Interested early-stage researchers should contact Mr. Patrick Tracksdorf over: Training-Workshop-KH2026@lists.tu-chemnitz.de and place their application before 28 August 2026. Selected applicants will be informed by 31 August 2026. Regular workshop updates and course details can be followed here.
