Javier Rosado Sanz is an academic at the Universidad de Alcalá, holding the position of Profesor Ayudante Doctor in the Signal Theory and Communications Department. His research focuses on advanced radar systems, particularly passive radar technologies leveraging existing broadcast signals (DVB-T/S, GPS, etc.) for target detection and tracking. He leads work in the AES3 group, developing smart sensor networks for coastal and urban surveillance, emphasizing acoustic and electromagnetic sensing. He earned his PhD from Universidad de Alcalá in 2021 with a thesis on antenna array configurations and electromagnetic target modeling for passive radar enhancement. His technical expertise spans antenna design optimization, clutter mitigation algorithms, and multi-static radar architectures. Recent research emphasizes UAV/drone detection, 2D/4D tracking systems, and adaptive beamforming techniques. His work bridges theoretical signal processing with practical implementations in maritime/coastal surveillance and smart city sensor networks. Key innovations include reflectarray antenna designs and decentralized detection frameworks for distributed sensor arrays. Publications highlight contributions to passive radar performance under challenging environments (e.g., wind farms, urban clutter) and novel applications like oil spill classification using SAR data. Collaborations involve experimental validations of DVB-based radar systems and conductivity analysis of composite materials used in UAVs.
