    摘要: A method includes producing, at a radar sensor, a plurality of radar data points based on radar signal reflections received at the radar sensor. The method further includes, for one or more respective radar data points of the plurality of radar data points, calculating at the radar sensor a data item indicative of a measurement accuracy corresponding to the respective radar data point. The radar sensor then transmits the plurality of radar data points and the data item for each respective radar data point to a central radar processor. The data item is used to update a covariance matrix implemented by a Kalman filter at the central radar processor during the object tracking process.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a single radar strip centering system for measuring the position and width of a continuous metal strip during processing in order to adjust the position of the strip to meet or maintain centering. The single radar strip centering system includes a radar and a reflector positioned apart from one another. The reflector is provided with a spherical surface. The single radar strip centering system includes the strip placed in between the radar and the reflector. The strip includes a near wall and far wall. The strip includes a leading edge and trailing edge. The radar emits beams. The spherical surface on the reflector augments and shapes the scattered energy from the far wall. The radar simultaneously illuminates the leading edge and the reflector. The reflector redirects the transmitted energy toward the trailing edge and reflects radar energy scattered off the trailing edge back toward the radar.

    摘要: A method for estimating a spin of a projectile, the method comprising obtaining a first data series representing a radial velocity of a projectile over time in accordance with a radar signal reflected from the projectile, subtracting a center velocity of the first data series from the first data series to form a second data series representing a variation of the radial velocity of the projectile around the center velocity over time, dividing the second data series into respective time intervals, estimating, for each of the time intervals of the second data series, a frequency of the variation of the radial velocity of the projectile around the center velocity, and determining a spin of the projectile based on the estimated frequencies of the variation of the radial velocity of the projectile.

    摘要: A computer implemented method of detecting a drone 200 from a micro-Doppler signature. The method comprising the steps of controlling a computer processor to perform the steps of: receiving signal data of a re-radiated signal 303 from a wireless communication device 212 on a drone 200 following stimulation of the wireless communication device 212 by a predetermined signal 301. Applying a detection operation to the re-radiated signal 303 data to detect a micro-Doppler signature. Wherein the detection operation comprises applying a predetermined criterion for distinguishing at least one known micro-Doppler signature of a wireless communication device on a drone, from at least one known signature of a wireless communication device that is not on a drone. Declaring the detection of a drone 200 in response to a positive detection based on the predetermined criterion. Characterised in that: the re-radiated signal 303 comprises fundamental component 400 and harmonic components 410/420. The frequency of the harmonic components 410/420 being substantially N integer multiples of the fundamental component 400; wherein N is greater than 1. The computer processor performs the further steps of: extracting harmonic component 410/420 data from the re-radiated signal 303 data; and then applying the detection operation to the harmonic component 410/420 data. The method provides higher confidence and fidelity in detection of a drone than approaches of the prior art.
