PASSIVE RADAR RECEIVER SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18439335 titled 'PASSIVE RADAR RECEIVER SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a passive radar receiver system that uses two antennas to receive and process wireless signals, including reflected signals, to generate radar data associated with a target.

• An RF receiver front-end receives wireless source signals and reflected signals.
• A first antenna is switched to the receiver chain during a first time to generate radar signal data based on the combined wireless signal.
• A second antenna is switched to the receiver chain during a second time to generate radar signal data based on the combined wireless signal.
• A signal processor generates source signal data, reflected signal data, and target radar data based on the radar signal data.

Original Abstract Submitted

One example includes a passive radar receiver system including an RF receiver front-end to receive a wireless source signal and a reflected signal. An antenna switch of the front-end switches a first antenna to a receiver chain during a first time to generate first radar signal data based on a combined wireless signal comprising wireless source signal and the reflected signal, and switches a second antenna to the receiver chain during a second time to generate second radar signal data based on the combined wireless signal. A signal processor generates source signal data associated with the wireless source signal based on the first and second radar signal data and generates reflected signal data associated with the reflected signal based on the first and second radar signal data, and generates target radar data associated with a target based on the source and reflected radar signal data.
