Abstract: Radar localization systems and methods are provided to determine the location of an object. The radar localization systems and methods can determine the location of an object based on data obtained from at least two radar measurements made by the radar localization device. In some embodiments, a radar localization system can be included in a wireless communications system that conducts both wireless communications and radar sensing. Radar localization systems include at least a computing unit that performs a radar localization method. Radar localization methods may use map data in object localization to eliminate non-feasible locations of the object.

Abstract: An antenna system for a mobile communications base station and a method of operating a communications network including a base station is described. The antenna system includes an antenna array for beamforming and is configured either as a radar sensor, a communications antenna or a combined radar sensor. A radar image may be used to determine a map of objects in the vicinity of the antenna system and to adapt the beam-steering or beamforming of the antenna system.

Abstract: A phased-array antenna system includes a substrate and a plurality of sub-arrays. Each sub-array comprises an array of patch antennas arranged on a first major surface of the substrate; a plurality of beamformer devices coupled to the array of patch antennas; a multi-channel up-down converter (UDC) and a combiner-splitter coupled to the multi-channel UDC. The combiner-splitter is configured to split a signal provided by the UDC and provide the signal to each of the plurality of beamformers and/or to combine signal provided by the plurality of beamformers and to provide the combined signal to the UDC. Each sub-array also includes an integrated device comprising the multi-channel UDC and the combiner-splitter. The integrated device and the plurality of beamformer devices is arranged on a second major surface of the substrate opposite the first major surface. The integrated device is arranged between at least two beamformer devices.

Abstract: A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system for a mobile cellular network and method is described. The MIMO antenna system includes an array of dual-polarization patch antennas each having first and second polarization feed-points. A signal is transmitted via the first polarization feed-point of a dual-polarisation patch antennas and a replica of the transmitted signal is sensed (detected) using the second polarization feed-point of the same patch antenna. This replica signal is used by a digital predistortion module to apply predistortion to a subsequently transmitted signal.
