    摘要: The invention relates to methods and devices for precise geolocation of low-power, broadband, amplitude-modulated rf and microwave signals having poor coherency. The invention provides a basis for dramatic improvements in RF receiver technology, offering much higher sensitivity, very strong rejection of unintended signals, and novel direction finding techniques. When mounted on an airborne surveillance platform, the invention can detect and geolocate weak, broadband, incoherent RF and/or microwave signals. Embodiments of the invention are implemented by dual channel receivers (heterodyne or tuned-RF) that use crystal detection and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis for geolocation. Geolocation is accomplished using a subsystem of phased arrays and an angle of arrival technique.

    摘要: Characterizing a radiation pattern of an antenna, accurately, is needed to improve the determination of an angle arrival of a radar signal received by the antenna. Accordingly, an optimized monotonic fitting approach with corresponding method and system are provided. The approach represents an approximation of the radiation pattern as a window map having a plurality of windows. The approach finds an optimized monotonic fit of the radiation pattern by adjusting the window map, one window at a time, and testing the resulting new approximations. The approach tests whether a new approximation is a better fit then the other approximations, is monotonic, and has a minimum slope. The approach enforces monotonicity and a minimum slope for ambiguity resolution. The approach further includes calculating an angle arrival of the radar signal based on the optimized monotonic fit.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide a selective level measuring apparatus with wider dynamic range of effective value detection, compared with the range by a conventional one. The apparatus according to the present invention comprises a gain control means arranged before an effective value detection section for varying a gain by a control voltage, so that a signal level inputted into the effective value detection section may be kept to be constant level by the gain control means, and the signal level of the signal to be measured is measured and indicated through the control voltage. Performing such operations allows the selective level measuring apparatus for the effective value detection to secure a dynamic range defined by a variable quantity of the gain control means. Accordingly, the present invention provides the wider dynamic range of the effective value detection comparing with that by the conventional one.

    摘要: A balanced receive antenna circuit configuration determines an accurate position of a transponder within the antenna field pattern of the reader antenna. The balanced receive antenna configuration consists of two antennas physically rotated 90 degrees relative to one another, disposed concentrically on top of one another. Furthermore, each receive antenna consists of two coils located a predetermined distance apart. The optimum distance separating the coils is determined by trading off zero position detection with the transponder detection range. The transmitter antenna surrounds the receiver coilset. In operation, initially the transmitter antenna sends a power burst signal for a predetermined duration to charge up the transponder to the maximum charge possible. Then for a very brief duration, the transmitter antenna is damped to permit the receive antennas to better receive the transponder response telegram. Then simultaneously, one receive antenna receives the `X` position component and the other receiver antenna receives the `Y` position component in the form of voltages. Depending upon which quadrant of the antenna pattern the transponder is disposed, the sign and value of the X component and the Y component of voltage is detected. These voltages are then narrow band filtered around a center frequency and gated for a small portion of the length of the entire response telegram, and those outputs are combined in a signal processor which outputs the exact position data information.
