According to one embodiment, a radar apparatus includes a signal processing device that has a first circuit, a second circuit and a transmitter. The first circuit is configured to determine whether or not there is a radio interference based on a radio signal received via an antenna. The second circuit is configured to, when the first circuit determines that there is the radio interference, select a predetermined pulse pattern based on an avoiding function of a wireless communication device having the avoiding function of the radio interference, the predetermined pulse pattern being separately defined from a pulse pattern of transmission processing for operating a radar. The transmitter is configured to transmit from the antenna a radio signal matching the pulse pattern selected by the second circuit.

Systems, methods and apparatus are described for a HERF weapon that may emit high-energy radio waves at a target based on locational information and a frequency associated with the target. The HERF weapon may receive the frequency and locational information from a sensing system. The HERF weapon may emit a high energy pulse toward the target and on the frequency associated with the target to disable or destroy the target without affecting nearby devices. The HERF weapon may allow the user to avoid detection by using a frequency that corresponds to the target's operating frequency.

A system for providing integrated detection and countermeasures against unmanned aerial vehicles include a detecting element, a location determining element and an interdiction element. The detecting element detects an unmanned aerial vehicle in flight in the region of, or approaching, a property, place, event or very important person. The location determining element determines the exact location of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The interdiction element can either direct the unmanned aerial vehicle away from the property, place, event or very important person in a non-destructive manner, or can cause disable the unmanned aerial vehicle in a destructive manner.

An RF antenna platform selectively configurable for portable or non-portable use, the platform comprising: a body comprising at least one RF antenna for transmitting and receiving RF signals; at least one component interface provided on the body for interchangeable mounting of different types of stabilising component to the body; wherein the component interface is common to each of the different types of stabilising component such that the portable and non-portable configurations of the platform are selectively determined by the type of stabilising component mounted to the body.

A radio frequency (RF) jamming device includes a differential segmented aperture (DSA), a jammer source outputting a jamming signal at one or more frequencies or frequency bands to be jammed, and RF electronics that amplify and feed the jamming signal to the DSA so as to emit a jamming beam. The DSA includes an array of electrically conductive tapered projections, and the RF electronics comprise power splitters configured to split the jamming signal to aperture pixels of the DSA. The aperture pixels comprise pairs of electrically conductive tapered projections of the array of electrically conductive tapered projections. The RF electronics further comprise pixel power amplifiers, each connected to amplify the jamming signal fed to a single corresponding aperture pixel of the DSA. The RF jamming device may include a rifle-shaped housing, with the DSA mounted at a distal end of the barrel of the rifle-shaped housing.

A deceiving signal detection system includes a first antenna, a second antenna, and a signal processor. The first antenna is configured to receive at least four radio wave signals. The signal processor determines that the radio wave signals are the deceiving signals by determining that a relative positional relation between the first antenna and the second antenna calculated on a basis of the radio wave signals deviates from an actual relative positional relation between the first antenna and the second antenna by more than a predetermined amount, and also determines whether an orientation of the aircraft determined based on positions of the first antenna and the second antenna matches an orientation of the aircraft calculated based on an inertial navigation system.

A system for near field communications is provided. The system can include a near field generator configured to generate a near field detectable signal comprising information. The system can include a near field detector configured to receive the near field detectable signal and output the information. The system can include an Electro-Magnetic (EM) shield surrounding the near field generator to block EM radio frequency (RF) signals in the vicinity of the near field generator from interfering with operations of the near field generator. The EM shield does not prevent communication of the near field detectable signal between the near field generator and the near field detector. The EM shield can be configured to reduce magnetic field loss from eddy currents in the EM shield as the near field detectable signal passes through the EM shield.

Systems and methods for detecting and protecting against phase manipulation during AoA or AoD operations are disclosed. For AoA operations, the network device receiving the constant tone extension (CTE) generates an antenna switching pattern, which may be randomly generated. The network device then receives the CTE using a plurality of antenna elements. In one embodiment, the network device compares the phase of portions of the CTE signal received that utilize the same antenna element. If the phase of these portions differs by more than a threshold, the network device detects a malicious attack and acts accordingly. In another embodiment, if the AoA algorithm cannot determine the angle of arrival, the network device detects a malicious attack and acts accordingly. For angle of departure operations, the network device that transmits the CTE signal generates the antenna switching pattern and transmits it to the position engine, which performs the comparisons described above.
