SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BI-STATIC RADIO-BASED OBJECT LOCATION DETECTION
Bi-static radio-based object location detection can include determining, by a wireless device, a location of a remote wireless device; obtaining a ToF and an angle of arrival (AoA) of a reflected WWAN reference signal reflected by a remote object; and determining a location of the remote object based on the location of the remote wireless device, the ToF, and the AoA. In another example, a wireless device includes a wireless transceiver; a non-transitory computer-readable medium; and a processor communicatively coupled to the wireless transceiver and non-transitory computer-readable medium, the processor configured to determine a location of a remote wireless device; obtain a ToF and an angle of arrival (AoA) of a reflected WWAN reference signal reflected by a remote object; and determine a location of the remote object based on the location of the remote wireless device, the ToF, and the AoA.
SIMULTANEOUS OBJECT DETECTION AND DATA TRANSFER WITH A VEHICLE RADAR
In one embodiment, a method includes providing instructions to broadcast a modulated radar chirp signal from a radar antenna of a vehicle. The modulated radar chirp signal includes data associated with the vehicle. The method includes receiving a first return signal whose waveform substantially matches the modulated chirp signal. The first return signal is the modulated radar chirp signal after reflecting off of an object in an environment surrounding the vehicle. The method includes calculating a location for the object using the first return signal, receiving, from a base station antenna, a second return signal that indicates the modulated chirp signal was received by the base station antenna, and providing instructions to establish a wireless communication session with the base station antenna.

Proximity radar method and system for a rotary-wing aircraft
A proximity radar method for a rotary-wing aircraft includes a sequence of phases T(k) of steps. In a first phase T(1), the electronic computer of the radar system computes unambiguous synthetic patterns on the basis of a first activated interferometric pattern M(1) of N unitary radiating groups. In the following phases T(k) of steps, executed successively in increasing order of k, the electronic computer computes synthetic patterns on the basis of interferometric patterns M(k) of rank k, wherein the N unitary radiating groups of a series deviate simultaneously in terms of azimuth and in terms of elevation as k increases, and establishes maps of rank k of the surroundings in terms of azimuth distance/direction and/or elevation distance/direction cells wherein the detected obstacle ambiguities, associated with the network lobes, are removed by virtue of the map(s) provided in the preceding phase or phases.
