MULTIPLE-FREQUENCY-COMPONENT SCANNING INVOLVING SCAN-PATTERN DESIGN AND BALANCED OR OPTIMIZED ATTRIBUTES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18273735 titled 'MULTIPLE-FREQUENCY-COMPONENT SCANNING INVOLVING SCAN-PATTERN DESIGN AND BALANCED OR OPTIMIZED ATTRIBUTES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and apparatus for scanning in a field of view (FoV) using a pattern that improves sensing in a region of interest (RoI) within the FoV.
- The method involves using a signal with multiple frequency components and a scan-pattern design to scan a RoI in a FoV by sampling or traversing the RoI more times than other regions in the FoV.
- Circuitry is used to find the scan-pattern design based on an algorithm that processes parameters involving amplitude and phase, as well as a number of different frequency components related to the multiple frequency components.

Original Abstract Submitted
In certain examples, methods and apparatuses, such as circuits, are directed to scanning in a field of view (FoV) by using a pattern that improves sensing in a region of interest (RoI) within the FoV. In one example, a signal having multiple frequency components and a scan-pattern design are used, with a balanced or optimized set of attributes including a sampling density attribute, to scan a RoI in a FoV by sampling or traversing the RoI more times than other regions in the FoV. In more specific examples, circuitry finds the scan-pattern design based on an algorithm that processes different parameters involving at least one of amplitude and phase and processes a. number of different frequency components related to or including the multiple frequency components, wherein the number of different frequency components is from three to a threshold limit whereat processing different frequency components provides negligible improvement.
