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.

A pseudo low intermediate frequency (IF) configuration is provided for a receiver having a zero IF radio architecture dedicated for radar detection, in order to reduce false radar detection. Energy from local oscillator leakage is shifted away from DC. After filtering out of the desired sub-channel, the local oscillator leakage energy is suppressed, reducing false radar detection.

In order to enhance the performance with which a moving target is detected by a single sensor and with a degree of freedom in a transmission waveform, a moving-target detection system 1 has a transmission waveform setting means 101 for setting a transmission waveform St(t), a transmission means 102 for transmitting a wave having the set transmission waveform St(t), a reception means 103 for receiving a wave including a reflected wave from a target, a Doppler shift estimation means 104 for estimating a Doppler shift that occurs due to movement of the target from the transmission waveform St(t) and a reception waveform Sr(t) including the reflected wave, a transmission waveform deformation means 105 for generating a deformed transmission waveform in which the transmission waveform St(t) is deformed in accordance with the estimated Doppler shift, and a target sensing means 106 for sensing the target using the deformed transmission waveform.

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 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.
