    摘要: A radar system and a method for operating a radar system are provided. The radar system includes a first radar component (110), a second radar component (120), a processing unit (130), and a controller (140). At least one of the first radar component (110) and the second radar component (120) are configured to transmit at least one monitoring wave (300). At least one of the first radar component (110) and the second radar component (120) are configured to receive at least one reflected wave (400). Each of the first radar component (110) and the second radar component (120) have an active mode and a passive mode. The processing unit (130) is configured to process at least one reflected wave signal received from at least one of the first radar component (110) and the second radar component (120). The controller (140) is configured to control (e.g., switch between active mode and passive mode) at least one of the first radar component (110) and the second radar component (120).

    摘要: A method for identifying a state of a stream of refrigerant includes capturing a plurality of sample images of a sensor for sensing the stream of the refrigerant, processing each of the plurality of sample images to identify a first color indicative of a dry refrigerant and a second color indicative of a wet refrigerant. The method also includes calculating an aggregated volume of each of the first color and the second color, wherein the aggregated volumes of the first color and the second color indicate a dry refrigerant or the wet refrigerant respectively in the stream. Further, the method includes comparing an aggregated volume ratio of the first color and the second color with a first threshold ratio and a second threshold ratio and determining the state as one of a dry state, a transient state, and a wet state based on the comparison.

    摘要: A radar detection system 10 can be calibrated by a method which includes selecting 402 location indicators with corresponding locations. A transmitter 16 of a sensor 12 emits a radar signal to the location of each of the location indicators. The radar signal is reflected off of a target at the location of each of the location indicators. The radar signal which has been reflected off of the target is received with a receiver 18 of the sensor 12. The location of the target at each of the location indicators is communicated between the sensor 12 and a controller 14. Locations which define a protected region 100, 200, 300 are selected with the controller 14. The controller 14 designates the protected region 100, 200, 300, thereby calibrating the radar detection system 10 such that the radar detection system 10 is capable of detecting an object 104, 204, 304 in the protected region 100, 200, 300. The calibrated radar detection system 10 can detect targets in an operational mode.
