    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.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for determining the range, radial velocity, and bearing angles of scattering objects reflecting RF signals or for determining the range, radial velocity, and bearing angles of sources RF signals. An array of antenna elements is utilized, the array of antenna elements each having an associated two state modulator wherein transmitted and/or received energy is phase encoded according to a sequence of multibit codes, the bits of the multibit codes each preferably having two states with approximately a 50% probability for each of the two states occurring within each given multibit code in said sequence of multibit codes, thereby allowing the determination of range, radial velocity, and bearing angles through digital computation after the scattered signals have been received.
