    摘要: A radar system includes an antenna array including a plurality of antenna elements; and a transmitter portion coupled to the antenna array, the transmitter portion being configured to sequentially transmit a first transmit beam and a second transmit beam from a single pulse, the first transmit beam and second transmit beam being formed using the same aperture of the antenna array, wherein a skew angle of the first transmit beam is distinct from a skew angle of the second beam. Such radar system alternatively transmitting through subarrays and receiving each via the entire array and combining the signals such that the transmit and receive parts of one of two 2-way beams point in the same direction and the transmit and receive parts of the second 2-way beam point in the same direction and these directions are within a standard beamwidth of each other.

    摘要: A radar system, comprising: a receive antenna configured to receive a receive signal reflected from a bullet, the receive signal exhibiting a Doppler shift according to the motion of the bullet; and a detector implementing a set of matched filters each configured to determine a measure of correlation between the Doppler shift of the receive signal and one of a set of pre-stored Doppler shifts, wherein each of the pre-stored Doppler shifts respectively represents the Doppler shift of a bullet passing the antenna at a different speed or a distance of a point of closest approach.

    摘要: A system for developing machine learning for use in the radiofrequency domain that produces a robust set of training data for machine learning from a small set of labelled training data that is bootstrapped with unlabeled electromagnetic environment data. A raw signal set is prepared from the labeled data and separately processed for any electromagnetic environment and interference signals as well as for a primary signal by applying the real electromagnetic environment data and then summed to generate a second data set that is larger than the first data set. Feature extraction is used to produce a bootstrapped labelled data set that is larger than the original labelled data set and that can be used as training data for machine language classification.

    摘要: Methods and systems for scalable high-performance embedded computing architectures. According to an embodiment, a scalable high-performance embedded computing system increases computational capability within the restrictive size, weight, and power constraints of systems such as the external pod payloads of unmanned aircraft systems, among many other possible systems. The core computer capability can be placed in various environments, and according to one embodiment utilizes a flight-certified aeronautics pod that is scalable in length. The scalable HPEC system can be connected to external data sources, or the nose and tail can be made of Radio Frequency transparent material, enabling the use of various RF sensing technologies within the same aeronautics enclosure. According to an embodiment, a lightweight, thermally-efficient conduction cooled chassis supports the required board and interface hardware.

    摘要: A method of processing a radar hit from an object using, for each of a plurality of cells, a signal strength threshold, a hit rate threshold, a time of last detection; and receiving, for one of the plurality of cells corresponding to the object, a measured signal strength, a measured hit rate and a time of measurement. The object is identified as clutter if the measured hit rate is greater than the hit rate threshold, and the measured signal strength is less than signal strength threshold. The signal strength threshold is above a conventional CFAR signal threshold. Measured Doppler strength may also be used to identify clutter. Identification can be determined using Doppler-polarity-specific data values. The hit rate and the mean Doppler speed of the one of the plurality of cells can be updated using a running average.

    摘要: A transmit-receive radar system having multiple sub-apertures aligned in an offset, off-centered cross pattern that allows for searching of a sub-aperture pattern for the peak response without having to retransmit beams. The placement of the physical apertures combined with the use of MIMO operations provides a non-uniform distribution of virtual sub-apertures that suppresses ambiguous grading lobes and maintains angle resolution in a manner equivalent to that of non-MIMO approaches. As a result, target detection is enabled within a significantly larger angular area than in a non-MIMO configuration.
