    摘要: Radar signal detection and parameter estimation is central in passive surveillance systems, providing inputs for many information processing modules in order to detect, localize, indentify and intercept hostile targets. The proposed method for detecting radar signals and estimating their intra-pulse parameters in time-varying noisy environments consists of several stages: magnitude-squared envelopes calculation, adaptive noise floor estimation, detection statistics calculation, rising edge detection, time of arrival estimation, falling edge detection, time of departure estimation, pulse width estimation, amplitude estimation and center frequency and bandwidth estimation. Estimated intra-pulse parameters are wrapped into pulse descriptor words (PDWs) for information processing tasks, where each PDW consists of time of arrival, time of departure, pulse width, pulse amplitude, center frequency, signal bandwidth, noise floor level and additional useful information. The method is sequential, implemented in hardware platforms for real-time surveillance applications. The proposed method yielded much better performance than classical threshold-based edge (TED) detection methods.

    摘要: An object recognition device for vehicles, including a sensor, a filter device and an analysis device. Signals from an object are detectable by the sensor. The detected signals are filterable by the filter device and then feedable to the analysis device. The analysis device is configured to recognize the object by analyzing the filtered signals. The filter device includes an averaging unit, which averages the profile of the amplitudes of the detected signals, and a non-linear filter unit, which is provided based on a linear low-pass filter with a variable time constant and filters the detected signals. A value profile corresponding to the difference between the averaged amplitude profile and the filtered signals is feedable to the analysis device for analyzing and recognizing the object. The variable time constant is establishable based on the difference between the filtered signals and the detected signals and based on the averaged amplitude profile.

    摘要: A radar apparatus includes a radar transmitter that transmits a radar signal in a predetermined transmission cycle and a radar receiver that receives a reflection wave signal being a reflection of the radar signal on a target. The radar transmitter includes a phase rotation controller that randomly varies a pattern of a phase rotation every period corresponding to a plurality of transmission cycles, the pattern being to be applied to the radar signal within a period, and a transmission phase rotator that assigns a first phase rotation to the radar signal in accordance with the pattern. The radar receiver includes a reception phase rotator that assigns a second phase rotation in a direction opposite to a direction of the first phase rotation to the reflection wave signal in accordance with the pattern.
