POLARIZATION-EXPLOITING RADAR ARCHITECTURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240103124 titled 'POLARIZATION-EXPLOITING RADAR ARCHITECTURES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for cross-polarization-based object detection and classification using millimeter wave electromagnetic signals.
- The system includes a transmitter antenna that emits a first millimeter wave electromagnetic signal with a specific polarization.
- A receiver antenna captures a second millimeter wave electromagnetic signal with a different polarization after it interacts with an object.
- A processing circuitry analyzes the received signal to detect and classify objects based on the changes caused by the interaction with the emitted signal.
