Keywords: radar receivers; radar detection; bat auditory system; synth

Abstract: Echolocating bats have evolved an impressive ability to detect and discriminate targets in highly challenging environments. It is believed that over 50 million years of evolution have contributed to optimize their echolocation system so that highlevel performance could be achieved within their operating environment. The way bats interrogate the surroundings present differences, as well as similarities, with respect to typical signal processing techniques used in synthetic sensors. In identifying and investigating these differences, useful lessons can be made that can potentially be used to improve radar and sonar systems. We review some of the strategies that bats are believed to employ to detect and classify moving and static targets and present a comparison with the radar and sonar counterparts. We introduce a baseband receiver based on an existing model of the bat auditory system and apply it to baseband synthetic ultrasound signals to investigate target detection and resolution.
