RADAR SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18459364 titled 'RADAR SYSTEM
According to one embodiment, a radar system includes a plurality of antennas and a processor configured to drive the antennas. In a case of driving the antennas in a first mode, the processor causes the antennas to be cooperatively operated to image an object based on radar echoes received. In a case of driving the antennas in a second mode, the processor causes a first antenna group to be cooperatively operated to image the object based on radar echoes received, then causes a second antenna group to be cooperatively operated to image the object based on radar echoes received, with the second antenna group being different from the first antenna group.
- Radar system with multiple antennas
- Processor controls antenna operation
- First mode: antennas cooperatively operate to image object
- Second mode: two antenna groups cooperatively operate to image object
- Different antenna groups used in second mode
Potential Applications: - Surveillance systems - Autonomous vehicles - Weather monitoring - Search and rescue operations
Problems Solved: - Enhanced object imaging capabilities - Improved radar system efficiency - Increased flexibility in antenna operation
Benefits: - Higher resolution imaging - Enhanced object detection - Improved system performance
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Radar Systems for Enhanced Object Imaging This technology can be applied in various industries such as defense, transportation, and meteorology for improved object detection and imaging capabilities. The market implications include increased demand for advanced radar systems in sectors requiring high-performance surveillance and monitoring solutions.
Questions about Radar Systems: 1. How does the cooperative operation of multiple antennas improve object imaging in radar systems?
- The cooperative operation of multiple antennas allows for enhanced resolution and accuracy in imaging objects by combining data from different perspectives.
2. What are the potential challenges in implementing radar systems with multiple antenna groups for object imaging?
- Some challenges may include synchronization issues between antenna groups, signal interference, and complex data processing requirements.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to one embodiment, a radar system includes a plurality of antennas, and a processor configured to drive the antennas. In a case of driving the antennas in a first mode, the processor is configured to cause the antennas to be cooperatively operated, and image an object based on radar echoes received by the antennas. In a case of driving the antennas in a second mode, the processor is configured to cause a first antenna group to be cooperatively operated, image the object based on radar echoes received in the first antenna group, cause a second antenna group to be cooperatively operated, and image the object based on radar echoes received in the second antenna group. The second antenna group is different from the first antenna group.
