    摘要: The disclosure provides a Lorentz constraint angle estimation method and a system in a non-Gaussian environment; the method includes the following steps: constructing an N-time slot received signal model based on a non-Gaussian noise environment to obtain a reflected signal; constructing a cost model based on Lorentz norm by a difference value between an actual received signal and the reflected signal, and performing an angle estimation by combining with an atomic norm to obtain a signal sparse reconstruction model; constructing an augmented Lagrangian function by the signal sparse reconstruction model, and carrying out the iterative update on the augmented Lagrangian function to obtain a reconstructed signal; and analyzing the reconstructed signal and searching spectral peaks globally to obtain spatial spectral peak points, and completing an angle estimation of the reconstructed signal.

    摘要: Non-transitory computer-readable mediums and systems are provided in which a portion of each chirp of a series of chirps is held at an offset frequency for a period of time, and in which the offset frequency, the period of time or both is varied or dithered across the chirps of the series of chirps. The portion of a chirp that is held at an offset frequency for a period of time may be a non-active portion of the chirp, during which the chirp is not sampled. In some implementations, the portion of a chirp that is held at an offset frequency for a period of time is during a falling portion of the chirp, which may be at the beginning of the falling portion, or at the end of the falling portion immediately before a rise portion of a succeeding chirp.

    摘要: An array antenna includes a plurality of mechanically separate radiating panels arranged side-by-side, means for applying a shaping to the signals transmitted by the radiating elements of the panels and a device for managing the shaping of the signals, wherein the shaping coefficients correspond to a sum of at least: a shaping coefficient (Wco) making it possible to orient the maximum gain of the antenna in a given direction, and at least the opposite of a shaping coefficient (Wc) making it possible to orient the maximum gain of the antenna in the direction of a side lobe resulting from differences between the radiating panels of the array antenna. The method relates also to the associated transmission/reception method.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for generating a radar signal, in which performance of radar detection is ensured while increasing a spectrum efficiency in a radar network. The method comprises generating a set of frequency-modulation waveforms, generating an orthogonal code set, generating a set of coded frequency-modulation waveforms through element operation between the set of frequency-modulation waveforms and the orthogonal code set, calculating an objective function for the set of frequency-modulation waveforms with regard to a different set of coded frequency-modulation waveforms and previous sets of coded frequency-modulation waveforms, and selecting a current polyphase code set as an optimized polyphase code set when a result of current calculation is better or smaller than a result of previous iteration, and performing phase perturbation by replacing an element randomly selected in the current polyphase code set selected as the optimized polyphase code set with another admissible-phase element.

    摘要: Examples disclosed herein relate to a beam steering vehicle radar for object identification. The radar includes a radar module having at least one beam steering transmit antenna to radiate one or more radio frequency (“RF”) beams in a plurality of directions, at least one beam steering receive antenna to receive one or more RF return signals, and a transceiver to generate radar data capturing a surrounding environment from the one or more received RF return signals. The radar also includes a perception module configured to detect and identify an object in the surrounding environment from the radar data. At least one of the beam steering transmit antenna has a side lobe reduction mechanism formed within a substrate to reduce side lobes in the radiated one or more RF beams.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for performing radar operations based on characteristics of a target. First operational limits defining a limit of a detection operation, imaging operation, or some combination thereof can be identified. The first operational limits can be associated with first operational values of operational parameters. Radar waveform parameters to optimize can be identified. Further, first optimal values for the radar waveform parameters can be identified based on the first operational values associated with the first operational limits. Additionally, a first optimized radar signal can be generated using the first optimal values of the radar waveform parameters. The first optimized radar signal can be optimized for the first operational limits. As follows, the first optimized radar signal can be transmitted towards a target area.
