Abstract: A proximity radar method for a rotary-wing aircraft includes a sequence of phases T(k) of steps. In a first phase T(1), the electronic computer of the radar system computes unambiguous synthetic patterns on the basis of a first activated interferometric pattern M(1) of N unitary radiating groups. In the following phases T(k) of steps, executed successively in increasing order of k, the electronic computer computes synthetic patterns on the basis of interferometric patterns M(k) of rank k, wherein the N unitary radiating groups of a series deviate simultaneously in terms of azimuth and in terms of elevation as k increases, and establishes maps of rank k of the surroundings in terms of azimuth distance/direction and/or elevation distance/direction cells wherein the detected obstacle ambiguities, associated with the network lobes, are removed by virtue of the map(s) provided in the preceding phase or phases.

Abstract: A wave transmitted by an antenna made up of an array of radiating elements, two pulse waves are transmitted, each modulated by a phase shift law known as modulation phase shift, the phase shifts being in opposition, a first wave being transmitted by a sub-array of radiating elements referred to as odd and the second wave being transmitted by a second sub-array of radiating elements referred to as even, the two sub-arrays being interleaved, the transmitted wave being the combination of the first wave and the second wave.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and a system for the automated computation of a length or width dimension of a moving platform. The method includes sending radio waves toward the platform along a predetermined transmission axis and acquiring at least one digital power profile signal representative of a received reflected signal power as a function of a radial distance along the transmission axis relative to a reference point. This method next includes applying a filtering operator on the acquired digital power profile signal, making it possible to obtain a filtered digital signal, determining, by computation, a first radial distance corresponding to a first variation peak of the filtered digital signal and a second radial distance corresponding to a second variation peak of the filtered digital signal, and the computing a radial dimension of the platform as a function of the first and second radial distances.

Abstract: An analog signals generating device comprises a current pump controlled by a control code generated by a module for calculating the digital code with shaping of noise. The calculation module receives as input a digital signal representative of the analog signal to be generated and comprises at least one quantizer and a quantization error compensating stage. The current pump comprises two groups of at least one electric current generator and two groups of at least one switching means, the switching facilities being controlled by the control signal and causing the electric currents to flow between the electric current generators and the inputs of a differential amplifier exhibiting a predominantly capacitive input impedance and connected in series between the two groups of switching means.

Abstract: A method (100; 200) for digital signal processing (S(t)) of a pulse and scanning radar during an observation of a coastal zone in land/sea detection mode, the signal being sampled according to a two-dimensional temporal map, a distance dimension (d) and a recurrence dimension (rec), comprising: selecting a digital terrain model file (MNT) of the observed coastal zone; transforming (110; 210) the temporal map and/or the digital terrain model file to obtain a transformed temporal map and/or a transformed digital terrain model file the data of which are expressed in a common reference frame; constructing (120) a mask (MT; MF) from the transformed digital terrain model file; and applying (130) the mask to the samples (E(d, rec); E(d, Δf)) of the map associated with the transformed temporal map, in such a way as to obtain filtered samples (Ef(d, rec); Ef(d, Δf)).
