RADAR DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING RADAR DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18170674 titled 'RADAR DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING RADAR DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The radar device described in the patent application utilizes clusters to transmit and receive electromagnetic waves to and from a target. The controller controls the clusters to ensure efficient transmission and reception of signals.

  • The radar device includes a panel with clusters and a controller.
  • The controller directs a first cluster to transmit an electromagnetic wave to a target.
  • The first cluster and at least one adjacent cluster receive the reflected wave from the target.
  • The clusters then output a reception signal, excluding other clusters from doing so.

Potential Applications

This technology can be used in:

  • Automotive radar systems for collision avoidance
  • Surveillance and security systems for perimeter monitoring

Problems Solved

  • Improved accuracy in target detection
  • Enhanced signal reception in challenging environments

Benefits

  • Increased safety in various applications
  • Enhanced performance in adverse weather conditions

Potential Commercial Applications

"Advanced Radar Technology for Enhanced Safety and Security Systems"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to radar systems using clusters for signal transmission and reception, but specific examples are not provided in the patent application.

Unanswered Questions

How does the radar device handle interference from other electromagnetic sources?

The patent application does not specify how the device mitigates interference from external sources.

What is the range of the radar device and how does it vary based on environmental conditions?

The patent application does not detail the range capabilities of the radar device or how they are affected by different environmental factors.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to one embodiment, a radar device comprises a panel including clusters and a controller. The controller is configured to cause a first cluster of the clusters to transmit an electromagnetic wave to a target, cause the first cluster and at least one second cluster adjacent to the first cluster to receive a reflected wave from the target, and cause the first cluster and the at least one second cluster to output a reception signal. At least one cluster other than the first cluster and other than the at least one second cluster does not output the reception signal.
