This disclosure introduces a mapping for creating good Doppler detection capable radar codes. The mapping transfers an existing digital radar code to the warped frequency domain by expressing the code elements as magnitudes and phases of selected frequencies. These frequencies are equispaced in the warped frequency domain to preserve the code's sidelobes after mapping. The frequency warping function may convert the multiplicative Doppler shift into an additive shift of the code pattern in the warped frequency domain, which allows Doppler shift detection.

An antenna system for at least one of Elint and Sigint, configured to detect weak electro-magnetic signals, comprises an antenna and a feed manifold, which comprises a plurality of feeds located on a focal surface of the antenna. The antenna is configured to function as a two-dimensional focusing element, having spherical symmetry. The system is configured such that a planar wave-front associated with a electro-magnetic signal, that is impinging on the antenna, is focused by the antenna to a feed, situated at a distance from the antenna corresponding to a focal distance of the antenna along a propagation vector of the wave-front. The spatial field of view of the antenna system is based on a number of feeds and the spacing between feeds. This produces, for each feed, a respective high-gain beam, with direction along the line connecting the center of the spherical symmetry and the feed.

The present invention relates to endothelial cell biomarkers and diagnostic and prognostic methods for vascular diseases, including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

A radar device is mounted on a vehicle, which is a moving object, and includes a doppler correction phase-rotation controller and a phase rotator. Based on the speed of the vehicle, the doppler correction phase-rotation controller calculates a Doppler correction phase-rotation amount for correcting a Doppler frequency due to movement of the vehicle. By using the Doppler correction phase-rotation amount, the phase rotator pre-corrects Doppler frequency components with respect to a radar transmission signal in each transmission interval of the radar transmission signal.
