Systems and methods for determining user equipment (UE) locations within a wireless network using reference signals of the wireless network are described. The disclosed systems and methods utilize a plurality of in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) samples generated from signals provided by receive channels associated with two or more antennas of the wireless system. Based on received reference signal parameters the reference signal within the signals from each receive channel among the receive channels is identified. Based on the identified reference signal from each receive channel, an angle of arrival between a baseline of the two or more antennas and incident energy from the UE to the two or more antennas is determined. That angle of arrival is then used to calculate the location of the UE. The angle of arrival may be a horizontal angle of arrival and/or a vertical angle of arrival.

A radar system for generating a fast frequency hopping output for frequency agility using a transmitter block and a receiver block. The transmitter block is configured to (i) modulate a digital signal using a first digital mixer, (ii) convert a modulated signal into an inphase analog signal and provide the inphase analog signal to at least one of a first RF IQ mixer or a third RF IQ mixer, (iii) convert the modulated signal into a quadrature analog signal provide the quadrature analog signal to at least one of the first RF IQ mixer or the third RF IQ mixer, and (iv) generate the fast frequency hopping output radar signal by mixing the inphase analog signal and the quadrature analog signal with an inphase RF local oscillator signal and a quadrature RF local oscillator signal.

A pulse radar system and method has long range unambiguous image reflections at high pulse repetition frequency (PRF), long range high resolution radial velocity not limited by Doppler Nyquist limiting, improved signal sensitivity, and strong in-band interference rejection, thereby improving existing radar by increasing the transmission pulse rate by uniquely tagging each outgoing pulse so they can be easily separated when received.

Techniques and apparatuses are described that enable radar attenuation mitigation. To improve radar performance, characteristics of an attenuator and/or properties of a radar signal are determined to reduce attenuation of the radar signal due to the attenuator and enable a radar system to detect a target located on an opposite side of the attenuator. These techniques are beneficial in situations in which the attenuator is unavoidably located between the radar system and a target, either due to integration within other electronic devices or due to an operating environment. These techniques save power and cost by reducing the attenuation without increasing transmit power or changing material properties of the attenuator.

Disclosed is a radar signal processing device including a shift unit to shift either one of an ascending sequence signal in which the frequency of a pulse wave rises discretely with time and a descending sequence signal in which the frequency of a pulse wave falls discretely with time.

Provided is a radar device including: a transmission circuit that transmits a first transmission signal and a second transmission signal which have frequencies different from each other; a reception circuit that receives the first transmission signal and the second transmission signal which are reflected by one or a plurality of objects as a first reception signal and a second reception signal, a processor, and a memory that stores a command group executable by the processor. Quadrature demodulation is performed with respect to each of the first reception signal and the second reception signal, at least one of the first reception signal and the second reception signal is rotated on an IQ plane in correspondence with a predetermined phase angle corresponding to a predetermined distance, and the first frequency or the second frequency, the first reception signal and the second reception signal of which one is rotated is added or subtracted, and the one or plurality of objects are detected on the basis of a processing result of a processing means.

A first device sends a first message to a second device, where the first message indicates to the second device to hop to different channels at different times to send radio signals. The frequency bandwidth ranges of any two channels do not completely overlap, and the frequency bandwidth range of each channel is within a total frequency bandwidth range supported by the first device. The first device separately receives the radio signals that are sent by the second device on different channels at different times. The radio signals reach the first device after being reflected by an intermediate object. The first device measures the state information of the intermediate object based on the physical characteristics of the different radio signals that are separately received.

A multi-mode microwave waveguide blade sensing system includes a transceiver, a waveguide, and a probe sensor. The transceiver generates a microwave energy signal having a first waveguide mode and a different second waveguide mode. The waveguide includes a first end that receives the microwave energy signal. The probe sensor includes a proximate end that receives the microwave energy signal from the transceiver and a distal end including an aperture that outputs the microwave energy signal. The probe sensor directs the microwave energy signal at a first direction based on the first waveguide mode and a different second direction different based on the second waveguide mode. The probe sensor receives different levels of reflected microwave energy based at least in part on a location at which the at least one microwave energy signal is reflected from the machine.

A system and method for using coherent aggregated bandwidth over multiple transmissions for improved performance of precision guidance and positioning and of object tracking systems. Angular offset (Az/El) estimations are strongly impacted by interference between direct and (comparable amplitude) ground-reflected signals. In rough ground situations, there could be many ground reflected signals. Bandwidth aggregation as used herein achieves sharper range sidelobes and smaller magnitude multipath interference terms resulting in increasingly accurate interferometric results.
