SEPARATING WEAK AND STRONG MOVING TARGETS USING THE FRACTIONAL FOURIER TRANSFORM
The Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT) may be used to extract multiple radar targets in clutter where some targets may be relatively weak. To do this, stronger targets may be removed by rotating to the proper axis t.sub.a using rotational parameter a, in which the target signal becomes a strong tone. By searching for the maximum peak over all values of a, stronger moving target echoes can be found and notched out, and weaker targets can then be extracted.
RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID) SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING LOCATION
A system and bent-pipe transponder component for determining a location of an individual or object in three dimensional space. The system includes a transmitter configured to transmit a first wireless electromagnetic signal at a first frequency and at least one transponder that is configured to responsively emit a second wireless electromagnetic signal having a second frequency that is frequency-shifted from the first frequency. An included receiver detecting the first and second wireless electromagnetic signals is configured to provide an output of location information for the at least one transponder. A bent-pipe transponder component may include a receiving antenna, an emitting antenna, and a frequency shift stage comprising an oscillator and a first mixer, with the frequency stage mixing a received first wireless electromagnetic signal with the output of the oscillator via the first mixer to produce the emitted second wireless electromagnetic signal.
Method, device, and system for interference reduction in a frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar unit
A method for interference reduction in a stationary radar unit of a frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) type is provided. A sequence of beat signals is received, and a reference beat signal is calculated as an average or a median of one or more of the beat signals in the sequence. By comparing a difference between a beat signal and the reference beat signal, or a derivative of the difference, to one or more thresholds, a segment which is subject to interference is identified. The segment of the beat signal is replaced by one or more of a corresponding segment of an adjacent beat signal in the sequence, and a corresponding segment of the reference beat signal.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RADAR INTERFERENCE MITIGATION USING CLUSTERING
A mechanism is provided to reduce interference between vehicular radar systems through communicating radar parameters and physical orientation between vehicles and then using directional information to form clusters of radars, which will have consistent modulation parameters. Radar modulation parameters, such as starting frequency, center frequency, bandwidth, slope, ramp direction, timing, and the like for frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radars, are adjusted to reduce or eliminate inter-cluster direct interference between clusters oriented in different directions. For other types of radars, in some embodiments, other operational parameters can be adjusted. In some embodiments, some modulation parameters also can be adjusted to reduce or eliminate intra-cluster indirect interference.

Multi sensor radio frequency detection
Radio frequency motion sensors may be configured for operation in a common vicinity so as to reduce interference. In some versions, interference may be reduced by timing and/or frequency synchronization. In some versions, a master radio frequency motion sensor may transmit a first radio frequency (RF) signal. A slave radio frequency motion sensor may determine a second radio frequency signal which minimizes interference with the first RF frequency. In some versions, interference may be reduced with additional transmission adjustments such as pulse width reduction or frequency and/or timing dithering differences. In some versions, apparatus may be configured with multiple sensors in a configuration to emit the radio frequency signals in different directions to mitigate interference between emitted pulses from the radio frequency motion sensors.
