    摘要: A radar transmits electromagnetic energy in pulse repetition intervals and receives reflections from objects in range gates including Doppler filters. The radar approves desirable ambiguous echoes and suppresses ambiguous echoes of no interest or that interfere with the radar's display. The radar frequency varies according to a staggered or wobbling pattern. The ambiguous echoes produce one pulse in the range gates within a predetermined number of periods. The Doppler filter works with an impulse function response that includes a small number of samples. The Doppler filter, during the predetermined number of periods, gives rise to independent samples from reflectors within the radar's unambiguous range. When the independent samples exceed the small number of samples, the radar approves the ambiguous echo. Otherwise, it is suppressed. In this way, ambiguous echoes are prevented from interfering with the reception or display of echoes. The suppression of asynchronous interferences can be made easier.

    摘要: An on-vehicle radar system capable of detecting a range error from range data based on an echo from a target (6). Range error is detected when amplitudes of beat frequency components in two adjacent range gates are substantially equal. The system includes a transmitting unit (1, 2, 4, 5) for radiating a modulated wave having frequency increasing and decreasing repetitively after pulse modulation, a receiving unit (8, 9, 10, 11, 12) for receiving the echo, and an arithmetic unit (13) for detecting a range error ascribable to aberration of modulation band width due to frequency increase and decrease of transmission wave (W1) by comparing a range corresponding to the range gate with that determined from a frequency difference between transmission wave and echo. The arithmetic unit (13) detects the range error on the basis of frequency difference components having substantially same amplitudes in adjacent range gates.

    摘要: A radar system is operated by controlling and thereby limiting the mean power of the transmitted signal in response to the mean power of the received signal thereby limiting the power to a predetermined power range. Preferably the power control or regulation is performed by varying the pulse repetition frequency and/or the pulse duration of the transmitter pulses. This method is well suited for operating a motor vehicle range warning system.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for radar detection of spectral moments and other spectral characteristics of echoes includes an agile antenna which directs an antenna beam in a direction for a dwell interval. A clutter filter reduces clutter. In order to eliminate the need for fill pulses to stabilize the clutter filter, the clutter filtering is accomplished by matrix multiplication of the echo signal in each range bin by the inverse of the covariance matrix for that range. This reduces the dwell at each range interval, and provides a stream of pulse-to-pulse information at each range interval. The pulse-to-pulse data in each range interval is spectrum analyzed to extract the desired spectral information, which is displayed.

    摘要: A radar transmits dispersed pulses in which the subpulses are modulated by first and second mutually complementary code sequences, the autocorrelation functions of which are selected so that, in the sum of their autocorrelation functions, the main range lobes add, and the range sidelobes cancel. The received pulses with their Doppler sidebands are applied to a plurality of channels, each of which (except one) contains a mixer-oscillator combination that removes a specific Doppler phase shift along the range dimension at a different channel frequency. One channel has no mixer-oscillator because it is centered at a zero channel frequency. Within each channel, the received signals modulated by the first and second codes are matched-filtered by filters matched to the first and second codes, respectively, to produce first and second time-compressed pulses, each including (a) a main lobe representing the target range, and (b) undesirable range sidelobes. The first and second time compressed pulses are added together in each channel, to produce range pulses with suppressed range sidelobes. The channel signals, after pulse compression, delay, and addition, are each applied to one channel of a pulse-to-pulse Doppler filter bank. The outputs from the pulse-to-pulse Doppler filter bank are applied for further radar signal processing.

    摘要: A radar system transmits dispersed pulses, and receives echoes from targets. The echo signals are digitized and applied over a number of signal paths. In each signal path except one, the digitized signal is multiplied by one of a plurality of differential exponential signals, for converting the echo signal of different exponential signals, for converting the echo signal in each path to baseband, with the baseband frequency representing a particular Doppler which depends upon the exponential signal. In the one remaining signal path, no multiplier is used, and the echo signal is deemed to be at baseband. The signals in each path are applied through a cascade of a pulse compressor and a range sidelobe suppressor. Since Doppler filtering has not yet taken place, full compression and range sidelobe reduction is not achieved, because of extraneous pulse-to-pulse phase shifts. The signals in each signal path are applied to a filter element of a pulse-to-pulse Doppler filter bank, which removes the extraneous phase shifts, and thereby provides full suppression of the range sidelobes.

    摘要: A phase comparator has additional circuitry for correcting nonquadrature error during operation of the comparator. The phase comparator has a 90 degree power divider which receives a reference signal input and produces two reference outputs, one shifted 90 degrees out of phase with the other. The phase comparator also has a zero degree power divider which receives a return signal, such as a reflected signal of a radar transmitter unit. The outputs of the power dividers are applied to mixers and filters to result in an I video output whose frequency is the difference between the reference and signal input frequencies, and a Q video output which is identical in frequency but shifted 90 degrees. The correction circuit includes a frequency trap connected to the reference input and tunable about a center frequency of approximately the third harmonic of the fundamental reference frequency. While the phase comparator is operating, the trap is detuned from the center frequency while the phase error is monitored until the phase error nears zero. Band pass filter means which electrically isolate the power divider from external circuitry can improve operation.
