An example electronic device may include a wireless communication circuit and a sensor, and at least one processor configured to be adaptively connected to the wireless communication circuit and the sensor. The processor may be configured to obtain data about a detectable area for an object, based on a UWB measurement signal transmitted using the wireless communication circuit, obtain a confidence level for the data about the detectable area, adjust a threshold value of the confidence level according to propagation environment information obtained using the wireless communication circuit, and filter and output the data about the detectable area, based on the adjusted threshold value of the confidence level.

A method for use in acoustic imaging, comprising: transmitting, from a transmitter, a first sound wave pulse at a first frequency determined by a maximum sampling rate of a receiver; transmitting at least one second sound wave pulse at a frequency substantially equal to the first frequency, the first and at least one second sound wave pulses being transmitted substantially within a fraction of a sample interval of the receiver; receiving and sampling, at the receiver, a reflection of at least two of the first and at least one second pulses to generate a set of receiver samples; and expanding the set of receiver samples, based on the first frequency and a total number of the first and at least one second pulses transmitted, to generate an expanded sample set with a larger number of samples than the set of receiver samples.

A method for controlling a radar apparatus that detects an object using frequency modulation includes: performing first reception of a radio wave in a state where transmission of a radio wave for detecting the object is stopped, to obtain a first reception signal; performing second reception of a radio wave in a state where the transmission of the radio wave is stopped, to obtain a second reception signal, after the performing of the first reception; acquiring a strength of a difference signal between the first reception signal and the second reception signal; comparing the strength with a threshold value; and starting the transmission of the radio wave in a case where the strength is equal to or less than the first threshold value in the comparison.

A maritime radar system is provided, comprising a transmitter, a receiver, and one or more processors arranged to provide range and azimuth discrimination of a detection area by performing a delay/Doppler analysis of the echo of a single beam transmitted by the transmitter and received by the receiver.

A mechanism is provided by which a radar image can be generated using mmWave transmissions from 5G-NR type base station antenna arrays. Base stations in 5G-NR use a beam searching sequence utilizing a defined synchronization signal burst (SSB) during their communication initialization with client devices. Embodiments utilize these SSB signals as a radar “chirp” to build a radar image of the base station surrounding in parallel with the typical 5G-NR communication initialization. Antennas on the base station can receive the reflected signals to define the radar image, in conjunction with correlation and time-management logic to properly associate received reflected signals with original transmitted signals. Such information can be processed by a synthetic aperture radar processing logic to form the radar image.

Apparatus and method configured to determine locations of man-made objects within synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. The apparatus and method prescreen SAR imagery to identify potential locations of man-made objects within SAR imagery. The potential locations are processed using a change detector to remove locations of natural objects to produce a target image containing location of substantially only man-made objects.
