摘要:
Improvement of radar signal-to-noise ratio and detection sensitivity in radar systems is achieved by methods employing the subtraction (27) of the unwanted radio frequency interference, RFI, or 'clone' signals thereof, from the total received signal. The Clone signals are appropriately adjusted in phase (14) and amplitude (16), and are obtained from an auxiliary broad beam antenna or from a delayed sample from the system's principal antenna. When multiple RFI signals at different frequencies are present, the entire receive band is subdivided into a plurality of frequency sub-ranges.

Der Leistung, die ein Radargerät im Mittel abstrahlt, wird in Abhängigkeit von der Geschwindigkeit eines Fahrzeuges, in das das Radargerät eingebaut ist, gesteuert. Dabei wird der Zeitbereich, während dessen ein Radargerätes Radarsignale sendet, proportional der Geschwindigkeit eingestellt. Der Abstrahlungswinkel, in den Radarsignale abestrahlt werden, wird ebenfalls in Abhängigkeit von der Geschwindigkeit gesteuert.

A reference unit (REF) is fitted beside a continuous-wave radar (DSR) to improve the accuracy of measurement. Said reference unit has a surface wave component (OFW) to generate a signal with a delay in relation to the transmitted signal. A mixer (M12) is used to produce a mixed signal from the delayed and transmitted signals which is used for rangefinding in conjunction with the measurement signal arising from the continuous-wave radar (DSR).

Spurious frequencies are suppressed in a transmitter (7) by an RF pulse fall time controller circuit (10) having a quadrature hybrid matched attenuator (23) located between a predriver (8) which outputs substantially rectangular pulses of radio frequency signal, and the first stage of a series of class "C" common base transistor amplifiers (11). The controller circuit (10) linearly attenuates the RF pulses so as to slow the pulse fall time. Operation of the circuit (10) is initiated when the rising edge of a pretrigger input to a pulse shaper (12) starts a pretrigger generator (14) which then triggers the application of bias current (I BIAS ) by the pulse shaper (12) to the attenuator circuit (23). After a controlled period of time determined by a monostable (16) in a pretrigger generator (14), the pulse shaper (12) decreases the forward current bias of PIN diodes (34,38) in the attenuator (23) thereby increasing the attenuation of the RF pulses. This creates a slow pulse fall time thereby preventing the occurrence of spurious emissions which would otherwise be caused by parasitic ringing of the cascaded Class C common base transistor amplifiers (11) in the transmitter (7). The RF pulses, after passing through the cascaded amplifiers (11), are emitted by the transmitter (7) as rectangular pulses.

Spurious frequences are suppressed in a transmitter (7) by an RF pulse fall time controller circuit (10) having a quadrature hybrid matched attenuator (23) located between a predriver (8) and the first stage of class "C" driver amplifiers (11). The controller circuit (10) linearly attenuates RF pulses and slows pulse fall time. Operation of the circuit (10) is initiated when the rising edge of a pretrigger input to a pulse shaper (12) starts a pretrigger generator (14) which then triggers the application of bias current (I BIAS ) by the pulse shaper (12) to the attenuator circuit (23).

摘要:
In a vehicle presence detection system for controlling traffic signal lights at a road intersection, the vehicle detection is performed by targeting vehicles at the location of interest with an FMCW radar beam. The radar can be switched repeatedly between the FMCW mode, for vehicle presence detection, and a doppler mode, for vehicle movement detection. Signal data representing the background of the scene viewed by the radar beam are stored for use by circuitry that determines whether an apparent vehicle presence detect is a true vehicle detect ; the background signal data is repeatedly updated, as necessary, as the system cycles. Temperature compensation is provided and entry into the FMCW mode is inhibited if a voltage-controlled oscillator provided for generating the emissions has not settled down after any such compensation.
摘要:
A transmitting and receiving part of a pulse Doppler radar, in which the transmitting oscillator, by frequency shifting, is at the same time used as a local (reception) oscillator, and the intermediate-frequency reference frequency is generated coherently with respect to the pulse repetition frequency. Since only one high-frequency oscillator is required, the quality of which does not have to meet very high requirements, a low-price pulse Doppler radar can be implemented.
摘要:
Anti-collision vehicular radar system which provides a warning of a potential collision of the vehicle with other vehicles or objects in the path of the vehicle and automatic braking. The invention utilizes a pulsed radar system (24) with overlapped antenna beams (13, 14, A, B) for off-axis object discrimination. The invention determines the pattern of change in relative velocity of the vehicle and the object which is detected by its radar to provide signals which are processed by circuitry to determine whether the detected object is a potential obstruction which must be avoided by braking or maneuvering of the vehicle. Each time the vehicle travels a predetermined, incremental distance, the radar (26) is pulsed (16). Circuitry (19) is provided which detects reflections from objects in 32 range gate intervals 10 feet in length, for example, extending in front of the vehicle. The received signal for each 10 foot range gate is a binary bit representing the presence of one or more objects within that range gate. The number of radar pulses emitted during the time a detected object remains in a single range gate interval represent the relative speed between the object and vehicle; and the relative speed of an object is stored for each range gate interval through which it passes. Variations in relative speed are compared with pre-stored values (27) which relate to apparent velocity of the vehicle with respect to a non-moving object as a function of the distance to the target and the displacement of the object from the line of travel of the vehicle. An object dead ahead will show no variation in observed relative speed and may represent a potential collision hazard, while an object not directly in the path of the vehicle will show a characteristic variation in observed speed as it passes through the range gate intervals.
