    摘要: Systems and methods for automated unmanned aerial vehicle recognition. A multiplicity of receivers captures RF data and transmits the RF data to at least one node device. The at least one node device comprises a signal processing engine, a detection engine, a classification engine, and a direction finding engine. The at least one node device is configured with an artificial intelligence algorithm. The detection engine and classification engine are trained to detect and classify signals from unmanned vehicles and their controllers based on processed data from the signal processing engine. The direction finding engine is operable to provide lines of bearing for detected unmanned vehicles.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for determining a polarization state of an input RF signal. Two distinct RF antennas receive the input RF signal and output a first antenna signal and a second antenna signal. Polarizsations of the first and second antenna signals are orthogonal to one another. The first antenna signal is converted to a first optical signal, and the first optical signal is passed through a first optical signal to introduce a first delay. The delayed first optical signal is converted to a first RF signal. An amplitude ratio and a phase difference are determined between the first RF signal and a second RF signal that is associated with the second antenna and optionally includes a second delay. A polarization angle or polarization type of the input RF signal is determined based on the amplitude ratio and phase difference of the first and second RF signals.

    摘要: One embodiment provides a line of sight detector. The line of sight detector includes a first TeraFET (field effect transistor) including a first source, a first drain, a first gate, and a first channel having a first end and a second end. The line of sight detector further includes a first source antenna coupled to the first source; a first drain antenna coupled to the first drain; and a third antenna. Each antenna is configured to receive an incident radiation signal having a frequency in a sub terahertz or a terahertz frequency range. Each antenna is positioned a respective distance from each other antenna. Each distance is less than one wavelength of the incident radiation signal.

    摘要: Iterative methods for direction of arrival estimation of a signal at a receiver with a plurality of spatially separated sensor elements are described. A quantized estimate of the angle of arrival is obtained from a compressive sensing solution of a set of equations. The estimate is refined in a subsequent iteration by a computed error based a quantized estimate of the direction of arrival in relation to quantization points offset from the quantization points for the first quantized estimate of the angle of arrival. The iterations converge on an estimated direction of arrival.

    摘要: Approaches are described for antenna configuration in an antenna array of limited array size and channel state information (CSI) collection and analysis, to improve accuracy of angle of arrival (AoA) estimations for localizing a client device's position. Signals can be received from groups of antennas and CSI data can be generated from the signals. The CSI data can be combined, where the combined CSI data represents CSI data measurements of multiple signals received from a plurality of antenna subsets, without requiring physical installation of additional antennas to the limited antenna array to make the CSI data measurements. The angle of arrival (AoA) of the signals is estimated based on the combined CSI, and the AoA estimation can be used to determine the client device's location, and for other location services, such as identifying a person's location, tracking and managing inventory of objects, commute prediction, and the like.
