    摘要: Method for compensating for noise, in particular phase noise, in a primary radar system, wherein a first transmission signal with a first interfering component caused by the noise is transmitted by a transceiving unit, wherein at least one second transmission signal with a second interfering component caused by the noise is transmitted at the same time as or in a manner temporally overlapping the first transmission signal by the transceiving unit, wherein the transmission signals are such that, if the transmission signals are processed further and evaluated, phase and/or frequency shifts resulting from the interfering components are at least partially compensated for.

    摘要: Techniques to improve the detection and mitigation of synchronous and asynchronous interference in radar signals. The corrupted received signals can be processed to reduce the effect of interference, while preserving existing targets. Various can use a two-step approach to (1) detect and mask the corrupted samples, and (2) recover the masked-out samples. The recovery step enforces sparsity of the existing targets and prevents target smearing, which is a common problem after interference mitigation. The sparsity enforcing recovery step can preserve small targets while successfully rejecting interference. The techniques do not require any prior knowledge of the parameters of the interfering radar.

    摘要: A wave-based method has at least two reference stations (1, 2) transmit signals (s1, s2; s3, s4). The signals are transmitted almost at the same time (S1, S2), are transmitted in the same frequency range, and are separable using a multiplexing method. At least one of the sending reference stations (1, 2), besides transmitting its own signal (s1, s2), also receives at least one signal (s2, s1) sent by another reference station (2, 1) at the same time and determines a time stagger (τ1) and/or a phase angle between its own transmission and the reception with high precision. At least one receiving station (7) which at least receives the signals (s1, s2) receives the signals (s3, s4) from at least two of the reference stations (1, 2). A system and stations perform the wave-based method.

    摘要: Detection points may be first observed over multiple radar frames. The observed detection points, which form the tracklets, can be used to form a segmentation of the present radar frame by associating the tracklats to at least one object-track, which represents at least one object based on at least one feature-parameter. Segmentation results from tracking of detection points over multiple radar frames (viz. utilizing tracking information) which is used for associating detection points to objects (segmentation-by-tracking). A two-level tracking approach can be implemented, in which for a present radar frame, (new) detection points are associated to tracklets, which may be seen as a first level, and then the tracklets are associated to object-tracks, which may be seen as a second level.

    摘要: The invention describes a radar method for the coherent evaluation of radar signals in a radar system, in particular a multistatic radar system, wherein at least one or a plurality of received signals is/are received in several signal channels of an antenna arrangement, and wherein a synthetic received signal of a virtual transmitting and receiving antenna is generated using at least one composition model on the basis of the one or more received signals.
    The invention further describes a radar system according to claim 9 as well as a use of the radar system according to claim 14.
    The invention enables coherent evaluation of radar signals without the need to use a reciprocal signal propagation channel between the participating radar units of the radar system.

    摘要: A method collects radar signals reflected from particles distributed by an emission device. A three-dimensional range-angle-velocity cube is formed from the radar signals. The three-dimensional range-angle-velocity cube includes individual bins with radar intensity values characterizing angle and range for a specific velocity. The three-dimensional range-angle-velocity cube is analyzed to identify a ground plane and radar signals reflected from particles immediately proximate to the ground plane. Total particle deposition distribution is predicted.
