摘要： A unique hardware architecture that combines short pulse, stepped frequency and centerline processing. The inventive architecture implements a radar system having a transmitter for transmitting short pulses, each pulse being stepped in frequency and a receiver receiving the pulses and providing an output signal in response thereto. In the illustrative embodiment, the transmitter includes a frequency source, an RF switch coupled to the source and a controller for controlling the RF switch. The receiver includes a signal processor implemented with a center line roughing filter. The signal processor has multiple channels each of which has a range gate and a digital filter. The digital filter includes a Fast Fourier Transform adapted to output a range Doppler matrix.

摘要： A see-through-the-wall (STTW) imaging system uses a plurality of geographically separated positioning transmitters to transmit non-interfering positioning signals. An imaging unit generates a synthetic aperture image of a target by compensating for complex movement of the imaging unit using the positioning signals. The imaging unit includes forward and aft positioning antennas to receive at least three of the positioning signals, an imaging antenna to receive radar return signals from the target, and a signal processor to compensate the return signals for position and orientation of the imaging antenna using the positioning signals. The signal processor may construct the synthetic aperture image of a target from the compensated return signals as the imaging unit is moved with respect to the target. The signal processor may determine the position and the orientation of the imaging unit by measuring a relative phase of the positioning signals.

摘要： An oscillator to generate a low phase-noise reference signal at an oscillation frequency includes a frequency generator to generate the reference signal responsive to a control signal, and a delay element made of a high-temperature superconductor material. The delay element time-delays the reference signal and provides a low phase-noise time-delayed reference signal when cooled to a cryogenic temperature. The oscillator includes a phase detector to generate the control signal from a phase difference between the time-delayed reference signal and a phase-shifted reference signal. The delay element may comprise a coplanar waveguide having a length between 500 and 1000 meters arranged randomly on a substrate having a diameter of between five and thirteen centimeters. The delay element may provide a delay ranging from five to fifteen microseconds. The coplanar waveguide may be comprised of Yttrium-Barium-Copper Oxide disposed on either a Lanthanum-Aluminum Oxide or a Magnesium Oxide substrate.

摘要： A biometric radar system and method for identifying a person's positional state are generally described herein. The biometric radar may phase adjust a sequence of radar return signals received through two or more receive antennas to remove at least some phase noise due to the stationary objects. The biometric radar may also segment the phase adjusted radar return signals into a plurality of multi-resolutional Doppler components. Each multi-resolutional Doppler component may be associated with one of a plurality of biometric features. The biometric radar system may also combine and weight the segmented radar returns for each biometric feature to generate weighted classifications for a feature extraction process.

摘要： A standoff range, sense-through-obstruction radar system is capable of detecting micro-Doppler, or life form signatures, and movements through obstructions at stand-off ranges and displaying the target information over a live video feed of the area under surveillance. The sense-through-obstruction radar system comprises an antenna assembly that includes a horn antenna and a reflector configured to reflect radio frequency (RF) energy to/from the horn antenna. An antenna pointing assembly supports the antenna assembly. The antenna pointing assembly is configured to move the antenna assembly to point the antenna assembly toward an obstruction. A sensor assembly is mounted to the antenna assembly so that the sensor assembly is aligned with the RF beam formed from the RF energy reflected from the reflector to the horn antenna. The sensor assembly is configured to detect the location of the obstruction and to provide information to assist pointing of the antenna assembly toward the obstruction.

In some quadratic polyphase waveform embodiments, a radar system may simultaneously transmit frequency separated versions of a single quadratic polyphase waveform on a plurality of transmit antennas, combine the return signal from each antenna into a combined time-domain signal, and perform a Fourier transformation on the combined time-domain signal to locate a target. The radar system may identify a target, such as sniper's bullet, incoming projectile, rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) or a mortar shell. In some embodiments, the system may estimate the target's trajectory to intercept the target. In some embodiments, the system may estimate the target's trajectory and may further extrapolate the target's trajectory to locate the target's source, such as the sniper.

摘要： A pulsed radar system uses phase noise compensation to reduce phase noise due to drift of the reference oscillator to enable detection of micro movements and particularly human motion such as walking, breathing or heartbeat. The noise level due to A/D sampling must be sufficiently low for the phase noise compensation to be effective. As this is currently beyond state-of-the-art for high bandwidth A/D converters used in traditional receiver design, the receiver is suitably reconfigured to use analog range gates and narrowband A/D sampling having sufficiently low noise level. As technology continues to improve, the phase compensation techniques may be directly applicable to the high bandwidth A/D samples in traditional receiver designs. Whether phase compensation is applied to traditional receiver designs or a receiver configured with analog range gates, the steps are essentially the same: data is processed to position a reference range bin (either an analog range gate or a particular time sample) on a stationary reference and the phase variation of that reference range bin is used to compensate the phase of target data in range bins (either an ensemble of range gates or other time samples) near the stationary reference. This effectively moves the radar system and particularly the reference oscillator to the stationary reference thereby greatly reducing oscillator drift and phase noise and decoupling the stand-off range from the level of phase noise.
摘要翻译：脉冲雷达系统使用相位噪声补偿来减少由于参考振荡器的漂移引起的相位噪声，以便能够检测微动，特别是人的运动，例如步行，呼吸或心跳。由于A / D采样引起的噪声电平必须足够低以使相位噪声补偿有效。由于目前在传统接收机设计中使用的高带宽A / D转换器目前已经超出了现有技术水平，接收机被适当地重新配置为使用具有足够低噪声电平的模拟量程门限和窄带A / D采样。随着技术的不断改进，相位补偿技术可以直接适用于传统接收机设计中的高带宽A / D采样。相位补偿是应用于传统接收机设计还是配置有模拟量程门限的接收机，步骤基本相同：将数据处理为将参考范围存储区（模拟量程门或特定时间采样）定位在固定参考点并且该参考范围bin的相位变化用于补偿在固定基准附近的范围仓（或范围门或其他时间样本的集合）中的目标数据的相位。这有效地将雷达系统，特别是参考振荡器移动到固定基准，从而大大降低了振荡器漂移和相位噪声，并将离散范围与相位噪声电平分离。
