Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining an angle of arrival of a received radioelectric signal implemented by a receiving antenna system including either one rotating antenna having at least two receiving channels, or two rotating antennas with a same speed each having a receiving channel, and having different antenna diagrams. The method includes, in the operational phase, the following calculating and storing a series of ambiguous angle error measurement values obtained from receiving amplitude values of a radioelectric signal coming from an emitting source on said first and second receiving channels, each angle error measurement value being representative of a ratio between receiving amplitude values on said first and second receiving channels, and corresponding to an angular deviation relative to a reference angular value; calculating a convolution function on said angular range tween said series of ambiguous angle error measurement values and a series of theoretical angle error measurement values of said receiving channels previously calculated and stored, determining an angle of arrival of said received radioelectric signal as a function of an estimate of a maximum of said calculated convolution function.

Abstract: A digital receiver comprising at least two reception pathways, the method carries out a digital inter-correlation of the signals obtained as output from at least two filters of different central frequencies and different ranks, the rank and the central frequency of the filters being chosen as a function of a determined frequency-wise search domain. For a determined search domain, the various sampling frequencies of the reception pathways are chosen so that the ambiguous frequencies resulting from the spectral aliasings vary as a monotonic function of the true frequency of the signals.

Abstract: A method for processing coherent MIMO radar processing DDMA waveforms and includes NTX transmitters and NRX receivers, comprising the steps of a) generating waveforms on at most NTX transmitters, the waveforms, modulo the pulse repetition frequency Fr, being identical from one transmitter to the next, to within a phase ramp specific to each transmit path; b) generating, for at least one receiver, a Range-Doppler representation of the echoes of the transmitted waveforms, where, for each receiver, the echoes of a transmitter over a plurality of range cells occupy at least one frequency cell in the Doppler spectrum, called signal band, each signal band being specific to one of the transmitters, the placement of the signal bands in the Doppler spectrum being determined according to the phase ramp applied to each transmitter, the waveforms being generated so as to leave a portion of the Doppler spectrum between two signal bands unoccupied; c) identifying the transmitter corresponding to each signal band, on the basis of the Range-Doppler representation of the echoes of the transmitted waveforms. The method is particularly suitable for the millimetre band (W band), for automotive radar applications or applications of radar on board aeroplanes or drones, for the detection of fixed or moving target relative to the carrier.

Abstract: The present invention concern a method for eliminating in a radar signal a first signal coming from an on-board radar (10), the method comprising the steps of: providing a replica of the signal emitted by the on-board radar (10), receiving a signal, the received signal being the sum of a first signal depending on the signal emitted by the on-board radar (10) and of a second signal independent of the signal emitted by the on-board radar (10), the first signal being a linear combination of elementary signals each having an amplitude coefficient and a delay relative to the signal emitted by the on-board radar (10), determining the amplitude coefficients and the delays of the elementary signals of the first signal, and eliminating, in the processed received signal, the first signal to obtain the second signal.

Abstract: A transponder, able to equip a cooperative target facing a Doppler radar, includes at least one receiving antenna able to receive a signal transmitted by said radar and a transmitting antenna able to retransmit a signal. The signal received by the receiving antenna is amplitude-modulated before being retransmitted by the transmitting antenna to produce a variation of the radar cross-section of the target, the variation triggering a frequency shift between the signal transmitted and the signal received by the radar comparable to a Doppler echo. The transponder applies notably to the field of radars, more particularly for collaborative systems also operating at low velocity or nil velocity. It applies for example to assisted take-off, landing and deck-landing of drones, in particular rotary-wing drones, as well as manned helicopters.

Abstract: A Doppler radar with ambiguous electronic scanning, using an active antenna comprising an array of elementary transmission antennas and an array of elementary reception antennas with the same angular opening. The arrays have the same radiation plane. The transmission array is ambiguous with a number of ambiguous lobes within said angular opening of said elementary antennas greater than or equal to 2. The reception array comprises at least one ambiguous lobe within said angular opening. The arrays are arranged so that the product of the transmission and reception radiating patterns only produces a single main beam within the field defined by said angular opening. The coverage of said angular field by said radar obtainable by:
forming at the transmission antenna radiating patterns that are focused within a field limited to the transmission ambiguity field;
simultaneously forming several reception radiating patterns focused at reception in the ambiguous transmission directions.
