Method for testing the electromagnetic compatibility of a radar detector with at least one onboard pulse signal transmitter
The invention relates to a method for testing the electromagnetic compatibility of a radar detector with at least one onboard pulse signal transmitter, wherein said radar detector and each onboard transmitter are part of the same platform, by means of eliminating the onboard component in the signals received by said radar detector, where the onboard component corresponds to the mix of the direct component and the reflected component onboard, said method comprising a training phase allowing the detected pulses to be divided into classes, grouping together the pulses for which at least two characteristics have a common range of values, and a phase of eliminating, the pulses that belong to the selected classes.
Wireless communication system with discrimination between extraneous received signals
A wireless communication system having base stations and remotely located terminal units. The base stations and the remotely located terminal units communicate data over operational wireless communication links assigned to respective sub-channels having tiles separated by frequency and time. Detectors for analysing extraneous received signals in unassigned tiles of the communication links discriminate between a first type of extraneous signals detected in unassigned tiles of one sub-frame and also detected in other unassigned tiles, and a second type of extraneous signals detected in the unassigned tiles but not detected in other unassigned tiles. The reaction of the base stations is different based on the type of extraneous signals.

A system for includes master and sniffer devices. The master device includes: first antennas with different polarized axes; a transmitter transmitting a challenge signal via the first antennas from the vehicle to a slave device, where the slave device is a portable access device; and a receiver receiving a response signal in response to the challenge signal from the slave device.

The present description concerns a method of processing by a radio transmitter/receiver (12) of a radio signal (SR) comprising a telecommunications signal disturbed by pulses of a radar signal, the method comprising the steps of: estimating the instantaneous power of the pulses, estimating the ratio of the average power of the telecommunications signal to the instantaneous power of the radar pulses, and modifying the radio signal at the locations of the radar pulses when said ratio is smaller than a threshold.
Linear prediction-based bistatic detector for automotive radar
The disclosure provides systems, apparatuses, and techniques for operating automotive MIMO radars in crowded multi-path environments to obtain reliable detections by linearly predicting whether a bistatic condition occurred. To avoid saturating computing resources processing bistatic detections, the described techniques enable a radar system to quickly identify and discard from the field-of-view radar detections that are likely a result of bistatic conditions. By ignoring unusable radar returns that are likely a result of bistatic conditions, an example radar system can focus on processing radar returns from static conditions, for example, in providing radar-based detections as output to an automotive system that is driving a vehicle in an autonomous or a semi-autonomous mode. In so doing, the example radar system provides a highly accurate static object detector that is sufficiently quick in detecting bistatic conditions for use in vehicle-safety systems as well as autonomous and semi-autonomous control.

A cognitive scheduler and asset allocation system to optimize electronic warfare (EW) resource allocation in reaction to RF signals observed in real-time without the need for prior collected data and without a predetermined scan schedule. The EW system of the present disclosure may further provide optimum resource allocation to minimize response time and to more effectively react to agile threat systems in an area of operations.
