MULTIMODE RADAR SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18030468 Titled 'MULTIMODE RADAR SYSTEM'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an apparatus for multimode radar that includes a transmit circuit, a receive circuit, and a controller. The controller is responsible for transmitting signals, setting input signal levels at the receive circuit, detecting reflected signals, and measuring distances from objects. The apparatus operates in two modes, where in the first mode, it transmits a signal and sets the maximum input signal level based on the minimum distance range. It then detects the reflected signal and in the second mode, it transmits another signal and sets the minimum input signal level based on the maximum distance range. It again detects the reflected signal and measures the distance from an object using either the reflected signal from the first mode or the second mode.
Original Abstract Submitted
In one example, an apparatus for multimode radar comprises: a transmit circuit; a receive circuit; and a controller configured to: transmit a first signal using the transmit circuit; set a maximum input signal level at the receive circuit, wherein the maximum input signal level is set based on a minimum of the first distance range; and detect, using the receive circuit, the reflected first signal; transmit a second signal using the transmit circuit; set a minimum input signal level at the receive circuit, wherein the minimum input signal level is set based on a maximum of the second distance range; detect, using the receive circuit, the reflected second signal; and measure a distance from an object based on one of the reflected first signal or the reflected second signal.
