A radar device according to an embodiment of the inventive concept includes a clock generator, a transmitter, a receiver, and a signal processor. The clock generator outputs the transmission clock, outputs the reception clock at the second time after the delay from the first time when the transmission clock is outputted, and generates the notification signal when the delay has the minimum value. The transmitter emits a transmission signal based on the transmission clock. The receiver receives an echo signal corresponding to the transmission signal, and generates a first signal corresponding to the echo signal based on the reception clock. The signal processor obtains a third time point at which a delay has the minimum value based on the notification signal.

Radar signals are generated to have signal characteristics that define multiple sub-pulses in each of a plurality of pulse repetition intervals (PRIs) of a single radar dwell. Electromagnetic radiation is emitted according to the radar signals and the emitted electromagnetic radiation is sensed as radar return signals over a receive interval in each PRI. Coherent integration is performed on a set of the radar return signals and non-coherent integration is performed on another set of the radar return signals.

A digital receiving apparatus includes an analog-to-digital conversion module, a polyphase filter module, a fast Fourier transform module and a phase compensation module, which transforms signals of a target radio source from time domain to frequency domain. It further includes a standard time acquisition module configured to acquire a standard timestamp, a communication module configured to communicate with a host computer, a delay parameter temporary storage module configured to store a to-be-compensated delay parameter, a control enable module configured to generate an enable signal, a delay module configured to perform delay, and a phase parameter generation module configured to temporarily store the to-be-compensated delay parameter and convert it into a phase compensation parameter. The present invention achieves precise synchronous system startup, and the to-be-compensated parameter is updated and aligned in real time to compensate for a time-varying delay difference to accurately track with precision and observe the target radio source.

Multi-function waveforms possessing simultaneous radar and communication capabilities provide the means with which to efficiently combat congestion of the spectrum. Here a joint coding/spatial diversity radar/communication waveform design approach is introduced for use with digital antenna arrays. The proposed approach combines the recently developed phase-attached radar/communication (PARC) approach with the far-field radiated emission design (FFRED) formulation to realize the transmission of multiple independent data streams in arbitrary spatial directions concurrently with active radar sensing that is minimally impacted. The resulting physical signals emitted from the elements of the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) array have a desirable structure that is constant-modulus and have improved spectral containment relative to the original FFRED formulation.

A radar detection system that estimates the received pulse frequency of a pulse in a received radar signal using a signal transmit frequency or one that uses frequency agility during a pulse duration. The radar detector system may include a radar detector that receives the radar signal from an antenna or antenna array. The receiver may be channelized, and each channel path may include Gaussian bandpass filter(s) centered at a different frequencies. The system includes an extended range radar detector that receives the signal in the channels and processing logic that processes the detected channel signals to identify the pulse frequency of emitters with or without frequency agility during a pulse duration. The frequency estimates of the pulse are based on calibrated amplitude differences in adjacent channels.

A method of mitigates RF interference from an RF interferer. An RF signal is received at an RF transceiver during a time period. The RF signal that includes, for at least a portion of the time period, an interference signal having a cyclic transmission pattern with at least one deterministic feature. The received RF signal is analyzed in order to determine timing information for the at least one deterministic feature and the associated interference signal cyclic transmission pattern. Transmission of the RF signals from the RF transceiver are synchronized with the interference signal transmission pattern based on the determined timing information to mitigate interference between the RF signals and the interference signal.
