Architectures and techniques for radar interference detection are provided. A radar sensor system in accordance with the present disclosure may receive, via a radio frequency (RF) receiver, radar signals including a radar signal of interest and one or more interfering radar signals. The radar sensor system may calculate a Doppler spectrum for each of the radar signals and perform a chirplet transform on the Doppler spectrum to generate various waveform parameters. A Principal Component Analysis (PCA) may be performed on the waveform parameters to extract frequency features of the radar signals. The radar sensor system may classify the frequency features using a classifier to identify interfering frequency features associated with the interfering radar signals using a classifier. The radar sensor system may further extract interfering waveform information based on the interfering frequency features of the interfering RF signals. Interference mitigation may be performed utilizing the interfering waveform information.

The present invention aims to overcome the drawback with conventional RFID tag devices having a short communication range, and expand the communication range to several times or more that in the conventional scheme. The conventional scheme is based on equilibrium feeding/equilibrium modulation (a two-terminal circuit for antenna operation), whereas the present invention is based on disequilibrium feeding/equilibrium modulation (a three-terminal circuit for antenna operation). The conventional scheme is based on simple rectification of received RF signals, whereas the present invention employs a circuit based on a combination of a stub resonance-based, impedance transformation boosting scheme and a ladder boosting scheme. The conventional scheme is based on ASK or BPSK modulation, whereas the present invention is based on passive modulation, but can employ a QPSK modulation circuit.

In an identification system based on reflection of radar signals from a bit-coded transponder, the received signals are processed to remove unwanted signals and noise from the required, reflected and received signals that have a recurrent cycle. The reflected signals are extremely weak in relation to the unwanted signals and noise. A random bit sequencer and a time slot generator are used to generate a single phase modulated pulse train which is transmitted by an RF transmitter. The pulse train signal is received and reflected from a coded passive transponder back to a comparable receiver. The receiver demodulates the incoming reflected signal and directs the demodulated signal to an integrator array. An inverted signal from the receiver is also utilized. Synchronization of the transmitted and received signals is performed through a shift register while the bit sequencer controls a second integrator array. In this way, the unwanted signals and noise associated with the low power reflected signal is substantially eliminated.

An accurate radio frequency ranging system is provided for measuring the time required for a signal to be transmitted from a ground station to a remote station and to be returned to the ground station. The ground station is provided with a master reference clock that is employed to drive a first pseudonoise generator. The ranging system in the ground station is started by a unique and predetermined start epoch signal produced by the first pseudonoise generator. The first pseudonoise generated signals are transmitted to the remote station where they are tracked and sensed. When the original start epoch signal is sensed at the remote station, it is employed as a trigger or read signal to initiate the generation of a stop epoch signal. The stop epoch signal is retransmitted to the ground station and stored in a register where it is compared with pseudonoise generated signals being retransmitted from the remote station to the ground station. When the correlation between the two signals occurs, a new epoch stop signal is produced which stops the timing of the ranging system in the ground station. Since the pseudonoise generated signals transmitted from the remote station to stop the ranging system in the ground station are not locked on to the pseudonoise signals being transmitted from the ground station to the remote station, there is no requirement for turn-around coherency.

A range finding method and system comprising an interrogator and a transponder. The interrogator generates a signal with a first portion comprising a carrier signal amplitude modulated by a first two-level iterative pseudo random sequence (PRS) whose level changes coincide with level changes of a first two-level tone of frequency f.sub.T, which phase modulates said first portion. A second portion of the signal is phase modulated by the product of the PRS and said first tone. The transponder tracks the received interrogation signal and then generates and transmits a responsive signal having first and second portions comprised of a carrier signal phase modulated by a second two-level tone phase synchronized with the received first tone. The first portion is further amplitude modulated by a second iterative PRS phase synchronized with the received PRS signal, and the second portion is further phase modulated by the second, phase synchronized PRS. In response to the responsive signal, the interrogator generates a tracking tone of frequency f.sub.T, precisely phase locked by means including an arithmetic synthesizer, with the received second tone. The phases of the received second PRS and the originally generated first PRS are compared to determine the round-trip signal propagation time and thus the range.

Method and apparatus are provided for the tactical nagivation and communiion of a community of aircraft. Each of the aircraft in the community is provided with an inertial navigation system capable of providing accurate short term navigational information and a time synchronized ranging system capable of providing accurate long term navigational information. One of the aircraft is designated as the airborne control unit and establishes a relative grid coordinate system within which the community of aircraft operate. The origin of the relative grid is established by the airborne control unit. When stationary ground time synchronized ranging system units are present, highly accurate georeferenced information may be supplied to the airborne control unit by operation of its time synchronized ranging system. When such ground units are not present, accurate georeferenced information may be obtained by the airborne controller from navigational systems such as satellite, Loran or Omega systems. The remaining or "user" aircraft in the community determine their position in the relative grid by interrogating the airborne control unit with their time synchronized ranging systems. A Kalman filter technique is employed to update the short term navigational information derived from the inertial navigation system in each user aircraft with the long term navigational information obtained from the time synchronized ranging system, so that the highly accurate georeferenced navigational information from the airborne control unit is provided to each member of the community of user aircraft. Novel computer programming permits each aircraft in the community to derive navigational information having the best characteristics of navigational information available from several sources, so that very accurate navigation in the area defined by the relative grid is made possible. The system of the invention may also perform communication and identification functions for the members of the tactical community.
