About

Robert L. Ewing is a researcher whose work bridges the frontiers of radar systems and fractional-order signal processing. His key contributions lie in developing innovative methods for short-range navigation and detection, particularly through the use of adaptive multi-carrier radar. In his highly cited 2013 paper, Ewing introduced and verified original techniques employing a software-defined ultra-wideband (UWB) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) radar system for indoor environments—a significant advancement for reconnaissance and autonomous navigation. This work has garnered 5 citations, reflecting its foundational role in the field. Additionally, Ewing has explored the emerging domain of fractional-order signal processing, demonstrating its application through a polymer-electrolyte transistor in a 2008 paper (2 citations). His research highlights the potential of fractional-order systems to characterize complex nonlinear dynamics with remarkable efficiency, impacting areas such as flight control, robotics, and sensor technology. By combining practical radar innovations with theoretical advances in signal processing, Ewing’s work offers valuable insights for students and researchers interested in the next generation of sensing and control systems.
