Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a first sensing signal transmitted by a base station. The UE may determine a preferred sensing direction for a second sensing signal based at least in part on the first sensing signal. The UE may transmit a directional sensing signal request to the base station. The directional sensing signal request may include information indicating the preferred sensing direction for the second sensing signal. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A method for determining at least one object information item of at least one target object (18) which is sensed with a radar system (12), in particular of a vehicle (10), a radar system (12) and a driver assistance system (20) are described. In the method, transmission signals (32a, 32b) are transmitted into a monitoring range (14) of the radar system (12) with at least one transmitter (26a, 26b). Echoes, which are reflected at the at least one target object (18), of the transmission signals (32a, 32b) are received as received signals (34a, 34b) with at least one receiver (30), and if necessary are converted into a form which can be used by an electronic control and/or evaluation device (28). The received signals (34a, 34b) are subjected to at least one multi-dimensional discrete Fourier transformation. At least one target signal is determined from the result of the at least one Fourier transformation. At least one object information item is determined from the at least one target signal. At the transmitter end, at least one first transmission signal (32a) and at least one second transmission signal (32b) are generated from a frequency-modulated continuous wave signal. The at least one second transmission signal (32b) is encoded by means of phase modulation with respect to the at least one first transmission signal (32a), with the result that an at least temporary signal orthogonality between the at least one first transmission signal (32a) and the at least one second transmission signal (32b) is obtained. The at least one first transmission signal (32a) is emitted with at least one first transmitter (26a), and the at least one second transmission signal (32b) is emitted with at least one second transmitter (26b), simultaneously into the monitoring range (14) of the radar system (12). The at least one second transmission signal (32b) is emitted with regular transmission pauses of a predefined length.

In an example, information related to a user of a mobile device and to an item associated with the user is received from a network. Based on the information a screening threshold is determined. The screening threshold is communicated to an electronic physical screening device and a direction instruction, indicating a location of a physical screening area corresponding to the electronic physical screening device, is communicated to the mobile device. The direction instruction causes the mobile device to display a direction information, directing the user to the physical screening area, for a physical screening in accordance with the threshold.

Distributed radar systems and techniques for processing data received from such distributed radar systems. The distributed radar systems may utilize data on beam spatial pattern for processing collected signals and determining direction of one or more reflection origins (e.g., one or more objects reflecting transmitted signal).

Methods, apparatus and systems for movement tracking are described. In one example, a described system comprises: at least one sensor configured to generate at least one sensing information (SI); a memory; a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the at least one sensor; and a set of instructions stored in the memory. The set of instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: obtain at least one time series of SI (TSSI) from the at least one sensor, analyze the at least one TSSI, track a movement of an object in a venue based on the at least one TSSI, compute an incremental distance associated with the movement of the object in a first incremental time period based on the at least one TSSI, compute a direction associated with the movement of the object in a second incremental time period based on the at least one TSSI, and compute a next location of the object at a next time based on at least one of: a current location of the object at a current time, a current orientation of the object at the current time, the incremental distance, the direction, or a map of the venue.

One of a transmitting array antenna and a receiving array antenna includes a first antenna group and a second antenna group. The first antenna group includes one or more first antenna elements of which the phase centers of the antenna elements are laid out at each first layout spacing following a first axis direction, and a shared antenna element.

The phase centers of the antenna elements included in each of the two columns differ from each other regarding position in the second axis direction.

Systems and methods for performing body scans to ascertain body measurements of a subject. A radar based scanner may be used to generate a three dimensional image of a subject as a point cloud map of electromagnetic radiation reflected from a target region. The point cloud may be mapped to a parametric model of a standard human shape. The mapping may be optimized by adjusting parameters of the parametric model. The resulting parameters of the optimized model may be used to indicate the body measurements of the scanned subject

A GPR system the implements a modified multistatic mode of operation is provided. The GPR is suitable for mounting on an unmanned aerial vehicle. The GPR system has radar transceivers. The GPR system transmits transmit signal serially via the transceivers. For each transceiver that transmits a transmit signal, the GPR system receives a return signal acquired by each transceiver except for a return signal for the transceiver that transmits the transmit signal. The GPR system outputs of matrix of return signals that includes a null value for the return signals of the transceivers that transmit.

Techniques and architectures for managing radar sensor processing chains. A first high-frequency radio signal is received with a first RF receiver in the plurality of RF sensor suites on a host platform. The received high-frequency radio signal is converted to a lower second frequency range. A chirplet transform is performed on the signal in the second frequency range. Stored relative location information for a second RF receiver in the plurality of RF sensor suites is retrieved. Radar waveform information corresponding to the second RF receiver in a processing stream corresponding to the first RF receiver is extracted by utilizing the retrieved information and results from the chirplet transform. A point cloud is generated based on the converted signal in the second frequency range and the extracted radar waveform information.

The invention relates to a method of detecting a scatterer in a structure, such as a building structure. The method comprises the steps of transmitting from one or a multiple number of positions exterior to a structure, a wall probing radar signal towards the structure. The method also comprises the step of receiving, at one or a multiple number of positions exterior to the structure, signals that have been reflected by scatterers in the structure. Further, the method comprises the step of filtering, from the received signals, reflection information of a specific scatterer at a specific position.
