SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO DETECT MOTION ON SLOPED SURFACES
Systems and methods are described to identify motion events on a sloped surface, such as a mountainside, using transmitted and received radio frequency (RF) chirps. A one-dimensional array of receive antennas can be digitally beamformed to determine azimuth information of received reflected chirps. Elevation information can be determined based on time-of-flight measurements of received reflected chirps and known distances to locations on the sloped surface. Motion events may be characterized by deviations in return power levels and/or return phase shifts. The systems and methods may, for example, be used to provide real-time detection of avalanches and/or landslides.
RADAR ANTENNA AND SUITABLE METHOD FOR INFLUENCING THE RADIATION CHARACTERISTICS OF A RADAR ANTENNA
A radar antenna includes parasitic elements for influencing the radiation characteristics of the radar antenna, the radiation characteristics of the radar antenna being dependent upon the spatial position of the parasitic elements relative to the radar antenna and phase positions (φ1, φ2, φ3) of energies radiated off the radar antenna and the parasitic elements. The radar antenna is designed using microstrip technology.
Radar using hermetic transforms
The systems and methods use Hermetic Transform processing to achieve higher resolution in space, time, and frequency measurements, leading to enhanced object detection, localization, and classification, and can improve several aspects of RADAR, including: phased-array beamforming, Doppler filter processing, pulse compression/replica correlation, and in the creation of higher resolution ambiguity function measurements for both multi-static active and passive RADAR.
Universal Transmit/Receive Module for Radar and Communications
A universal transmit-receive (UTR) module for phased array systems comprises an antenna element shared for both transmitting and receiving; a transmit path that includes a transmit-path phase shifter, a driver, a switch-mode power amplifier (SMPA) that is configured to be driven by the driver, and a dynamic power supply (DPS) that generates and supplies a DPS voltage to the power supply port of the SMPA; and a receive path that includes a TX/RX switch that determines whether the receive path is electrically connected to or electrically isolated from the antenna element, a bandpass filter (BPF) that aligns with the intended receive frequency and serves to suppress reflected transmit signals and reverse signals, an adjustable-gain low-noise amplifier (LNA), and a receive-path phase shifter. The UTR module is specially designed for operation in phased array systems. The versatility and wideband agility of the UTR module allows a single phased array system to be designed that can be used for multiple purposes, such as, for example, both radar and communications applications.
TRANSMISSION MODULE, ARRAY ANTENNA DEVICE INCLUDING TRANSMISSION MODULE, AND TRANSMISSION DEVICE INCLUDING TRANSMISSION MODULE
A transmission module includes n oscillator modules and a phase command signal generator. Each of the oscillator modules includes a voltage controlled oscillator and an amplification circuit. The voltage controlled oscillators output transmission high-frequency signals having the same frequency and synchronized among the n oscillator modules by synchronous control based on a common reference signal. The amplification circuits each perform power amplification for the transmission high-frequency signal from a corresponding one of the voltage controlled oscillators and output the resultant signal. Phases of the transmission high-frequency signals synchronized among the n oscillator modules and output from the voltage controlled oscillators are separately controlled according to respective n phase command signals from the phase command signal generator.
