RADAR APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION BY RADAR APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18407730 titled 'RADAR APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION BY RADAR APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a radar apparatus with multiple transmission or reception antennas, each including antenna groups oriented in different directions.

  • The radar apparatus includes antenna groups oriented in different directions to enhance coverage and accuracy.
  • The first antenna group is positioned in one direction, while the second antenna group is positioned in a different direction.
  • Additionally, another antenna group is positioned in a third direction different from the first two directions.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Multiple antenna groups in different directions improve radar coverage and accuracy.
  • Enhanced ability to detect and track objects from various angles.
  • Allows for better spatial awareness and object identification.

Potential Applications: The technology can be applied in:

  • Military surveillance systems
  • Air traffic control radar
  • Weather monitoring systems

Problems Solved:

  • Limited coverage and accuracy of traditional radar systems.
  • Difficulty in detecting objects from multiple angles simultaneously.

Benefits:

  • Improved radar performance and accuracy.
  • Enhanced situational awareness and object tracking capabilities.
  • Better detection of objects in various directions.

Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in:

  • Defense industry for surveillance and tracking systems.
  • Aviation industry for air traffic control radar.
  • Meteorology for weather monitoring and forecasting.

Prior Art: Readers can explore prior patents related to radar technology and antenna configurations to understand the evolution of the field.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in radar technology, antenna design, and signal processing techniques to enhance radar performance.

Questions about Radar Technology: 1. How does the orientation of antenna groups in different directions improve radar performance? 2. What are the potential limitations of using multiple antenna groups in radar systems?


Original Abstract Submitted

In a radar apparatus, either a plurality of transmission antennas or a plurality of reception antennas include a first antenna group disposed in a first direction and a second antenna group disposed in a second direction different from the first direction, and an other of the plurality of transmission antennas and the plurality of reception antennas include a third antenna group disposed in a third direction different from each of the first direction and the second direction.
