    摘要: A system and method for geo-referencing a main measuring instrument which operates in an Instrument Coordinate System. The method includes the steps of deploying the main measuring instrument on a deployment surface. An auxiliary measuring instrument is used to measure the position of a plurality of external reference points in a Master Coordinate System as well as a plurality of local reference points on the main measuring instrument in the Master Coordinate System. An inclinometer associated with the main measuring instrument, obtains an orientation reading for the deployed main measuring instrument. A processor then uses the orientation reading and the measured positions of the external reference points and the local reference points on the main measuring instrument, to geo-reference the main measuring instrument so that measurements made therewith are automatically output in the Master Coordinate System.

    摘要: A contrast phantom for an active millimeter wave imaging system is made from different materials or sections having different reflectivities. The reflectivities incrementally increase in discrete steps so that the phantom is useable to calibrate the active millimeter wave imaging system. The reflectivities preferably range from 0% to 100% and incrementally and linearly increase in equal steps. A method of producing the contrast phantom for the active millimeter wave imaging system is also described.

    摘要: A method of adjusting a position of an antenna to reduce a position error comprises receiving first data associated with first returns associated with a first portion of an antenna. The method further comprises receiving second data associated with second returns associated with a second portion of the antenna, wherein the first portion is different than, intersects with, or includes the second portion. The method further comprises determining the angle to the terrain using the first and second data, whereby the angle is used to adjust or compensate for the position error of the antenna.

    摘要: A millimeter wave radar target simulation system and method. The system includes a down-converter that converts a millimeter wave radar signal to an intermediate frequency, an electrical-to-optical modulator that modulates an optical signal based on the down-converted signal, an optical-to-electrical demodulator that demodulates an optical signal to an electrical signal, an optical delay line serving to delay a signal passing from the electrical-to-optical modulator to the optical-to-electrical demodulator, and an up-converter that converts the electrical signal from the optical-to-electrical demodulator to a frequency that simulates a millimeter wave target return. The method includes receiving a millimeter wave radar signal, down-converting the radar signal to an intermediate frequency, modulating the down-converted signal to an optical signal, delaying the optical signal, demodulating the delayed optical signal, and up-converting the demodulated signal to a signal having a frequency that simulates a millimeter wave radar target return.
