VIBROMETRY AND SOUND REPRODUCTION OF ACOUSTIC SOURCES ON MOVING PLATFORMS USING RADAR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240377241 titled 'VIBROMETRY AND SOUND REPRODUCTION OF ACOUSTIC SOURCES ON MOVING PLATFORMS USING RADAR
The patent application describes systems and methods for using radar to interrogate a moving acoustic source and processing the data to extract vibration information.
- Motion compensation techniques from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) are employed to remove the effects of linear and nonlinear target motion.
- The range-doppler map retains only vibration information in the doppler dimension.
- Vibration and sound waveforms can be selectively reproduced at specific ranges directly from the radar baseband waveform.
- This process eliminates the need for additional complex analysis or audio processing.
Potential Applications: - Military surveillance and reconnaissance - Industrial monitoring of machinery and equipment - Environmental monitoring for detecting natural disasters - Automotive safety systems for detecting vibrations in vehicles - Medical applications for monitoring physiological vibrations
Problems Solved: - Eliminates the effects of target motion on acoustic source interrogation - Simplifies the extraction of vibration information from radar data - Reduces the need for complex analysis and processing techniques
Benefits: - Improved accuracy in detecting and analyzing vibrations - Enhanced capabilities for monitoring moving acoustic sources - Streamlined data processing for extracting vibration information - Increased efficiency in reproducing sound waveforms from radar data

Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods are provided for interrogating a moving acoustic source using radar and processing data using a selection of motion compensation techniques adapted from synthetic aperture radar (sar) to remove the effects of linear and nonlinear target motion so that the range-doppler map retains only vibration information in the doppler dimension. vibration and sound waveforms can thus be selectively reproduced at specific ranges directly from the radar baseband waveform, without the need for additional complex analysis or audio processing.
