Abstract: A radar attached laterally to airplane fuselage to detect obstacles on a collision course with a portion of the airplane facing the radar. The radar includes an emission antennal channel and reception antennal channels in the same plane. The radar Establishing in a radar coordinate system a first distance/Doppler map allowing echoes to be separated into distance and Doppler resolution cells in reception antennal channels; Establishing a second distance/Doppler map of smaller size by selecting a subset of distance/Doppler resolution cells corresponding to possible positions of targets liable to collide with the airplane; Establishing new distance/Doppler maps by forming beams computationally from the subsets of distance resolution cells; and Temporal integration, in each beam, of successive distance/Doppler maps.

Abstract: A detection method implementing an FMCW waveform is provided, the emitted waveform is formed of a recurring pattern of given period Tr covering an emission frequency band of given width B, each pattern being divided into a given number P of sub-patterns of duration Tr/P covering an excursion frequency band ΔF=B/P, the sub-patterns being mutually spaced by a frequency interval equal to ΔF. The radar performs: a first distance-compression processing operation carrying out a low-resolution distance compression at the scale of each recurring pattern on a fraction B/P of the emission band of width B corresponding to the frequency band covered by each of the sub-patterns; a Doppler processing operation on a given number N of successive recurrences so as to form P ambiguous distance-Doppler maps of low distance resolution, the maps being segmented into various speed domains; a second distance-compression processing operation of resolution that differs depending on the speed domain to which the relative speed of the target with respect to the radar belongs.

Abstract: The method includes a step of forming, with a radar, a number N of beams of equal angular width that irradiate a runway and a portion of the surroundings of the runway; a step of dividing the zone irradiated by the beams into distance-angle boxes, the beams delineating the boxes anglewise; a step of taking measurements of backscattered power received from distance-angle boxes, the measurements being carried out for a set of pairs of boxes, a pair being composed of two boxes of same distance one of which, called the right box, crosses the right edge (3D) of the runway, and the other of which, called the left box, crosses the left edge (3G); a step of computing, for each pair, the difference in backscattered power between the right box and the left box, the aircraft being aligned with the axis when the difference is zero for at least two pairs of distance-angle boxes.

Abstract: A method including providing a replica of a signal emitted by an on-board radar, receiving by a radar detector a signal, the received signal being the sum of a first signal depending on the signal emitted by the on-board radar and a second signal independent of the signal emitted by the on-board radar, the first signal being able to be represented by a linear combination of elementary signals each having an amplitude coefficient and a delay relative to the signal emitted by the on-board radar, processing the received signal, determining the amplitude coefficients and the delays of the elementary signals of the first signal relative to the signal emitted by the on-board radar, from the provided replica and the processed received signal, and eliminating, in the processed received signal, the first signal to obtain the second signal, from the provided replica.

Abstract: A digital receiver comprising at least two reception pathways, the method carries out a digital inter-correlation of the signals obtained as output from at least two filters of different central frequencies and different ranks, the rank and the central frequency of the filters being chosen as a function of a determined frequency-wise search domain. For a determined search domain, the various sampling frequencies of the reception pathways are chosen so that the ambiguous frequencies resulting from the spectral aliasings vary as a monotonic function of the true frequency of the signals.

Abstract: A method for processing coherent MIMO radar processing DDMA waveforms includes: generating waveforms on transmitters, the waveforms, modulo the pulse repetition frequency, being identical from one transmitter to the next, to within a phase ramp specific to each transmit path; generating, for at least one receiver, a Range-Doppler representation of echoes of transmitted waveforms, where, for each receiver, echoes of a transmitter occupy at least one frequency cell in the Doppler spectrum, each signal band specific to a transmitter, placement of the signal bands in the Doppler spectrum being determined by phase ramp applied to each transmitter, the waveforms generated to leave a portion of Doppler spectrum between two signal bands unoccupied; identifying the transmitter corresponding to each signal band, due to Range-Doppler representation of echoes of transmitted waveforms. The method is suitable for the millimetre band, automotive or aircraft radar, for detection of target relative to the carrier.
