摘要:
A method and apparatus for reducing noise in a coded aperture radar system, the coded aperture radar system transmitting signals which occur in sweeps, with K sweeps utilized to cover field of view of the coded aperture radar system and Q frequency shifts or steps occurring each sweep thereof. An array of N antenna elements is provided, the array of antenna elements each having an associated two state modulator coupled therewith. Energy received at the array is modulated according to a sequence of multibit codes, the number of codes in the sequence of codes comprising at least K times Q times N, thereby reducing noise in the coded aperture radar system compared to a coded aperture radar system radar system having fewer than K times Q times N codes in its sequence of multibit codes.
摘要:
A method of and an apparatus for reducing noise in a non-Foster circuit having at least a pair of cross coupled transistor devices, each transistor device of the pair of cross coupled transistor devices having a pair of current carrying electrodes. The method and apparatus involves coupling inductors with each pair of the current carrying electrodes of each of the cross-coupled transistor devices in the non-Foster circuit, the inductors also being coupled with voltage and/or current sources associated with or coupled to the non-Foster circuit. The nominal values of the inductors are selected to provide a load asymmetry, so that the load inductor in the input side of the non-Foster circuit has a larger inductance than the load inductor at the output side of non-Foster circuit.
摘要:
A radar system in which Coded Aperture Radar processing is performed on received radar signals reflected by one or more objects in a field of view which reflect a transmitted signal which covers a field of view with K sweeps and each sweep including Q frequency changes. For Type II CAR, the transmitted signal also includes N modulated codes per frequency step. The received radar signals are modulated by a plurality of binary modulators the results of which are applied to a mixer. The output of the mixer, for one acquisition results in a set of Q·K (for Type I CAR) or Q·K·N (for Type II CAR) complex data samples, is distributed among a number of digital channels, each corresponding to a desired beam direction. For each channel, the complex digital samples are multiplied, sample by sample, by a complex signal mask that is different for each channel.
