    Abstract: A Pseudo-Random Phase Modulation (PRPM) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radar system suitable for use on an automated vehicle includes a first transmit-antenna that transmits a first transmit-signal generated by a first PRPM-code, a second transmit-antenna that transmits a second transmit-signal generated by a second PRPM-code, a receive-antenna used to detect a first reflected-signal arising from the first transmit-signal and a second reflected-signal arising from the second transmit-signal, and a controller. The controller is in communication with the receive-antenna and is operable to generate the first PRPM-code and the second PRPM-code. The controller is configured to generate a first sub-channel-output based on a down-converted-signal from the receive-antenna and the first PRPM-code, generate a second sub-channel-output based on the down-converted-signal from the receive-antenna and the second PRPM-code, determine a first residue-signal based on the second sub-channel-output, and determine a first residue-removed-signal by subtracting the first residue-signal from the first sub-channel-output.

    Abstract: A method for generating and compressing multi-sweep-frequency radar signals is provided, based on the idea of reducing the power density of signals on a time-frequency domain. By using a method of circumferentially shifting and superposing a single sweep-frequency signal, sweep-frequency signals multiplexed simultaneously at time and frequency are generated, and for the generated multi-sweep-frequency signals, the sweep-frequency signals are multiplexed simultaneously at time and frequency in a single pulse time period. The multi-sweep-frequency signals multiplexed at frequency are used to perform matched filtering, and then perform segmented accumulation to obtain distance resolution which is inversely proportional to the bandwidth and the signal-to-noise ratio after the single sweep-frequency signal is compressed under the same energy condition, thereby realizing secondary compression on the multi-sweep-frequency signals. The signals generated by the method have higher spectrum utilization rate and lower interception probability, and guarantee the distance resolution and detection distance of a radar.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus of determining a wave height directional spectrum of an ocean wave field using the intermediate-frequency (IF) signal from marine radars with a rotating antenna, using either a fully coherent or a standard non-coherent transmitter/receiver modified for coherent-on-receive use. The method may include receiving the IF radar ocean surface echo signal for a series of transmit pulses, at a sequence of azimuthal antenna positions, and a number of antenna rotations covering several minutes, then generating a matrix of complex IF signal samples from these, deriving phases for each sample, generating the difference in phase for consecutive azimuths, then Doppler shifts, and finally radial velocities. These are interpolated to a Cartesian-transformed representation cube of samples, a subset of which is Fourier transformed in three dimensions, filtered, and the resulting power spectrum generated is used to derive ocean wave height directional spectra, frequency spectra, and root-mean-squared wave height.

    Abstract: A method of processing an input signal to perform frequency analysis is disclosed. The input signal comprises a desired signal and an interference signal. A crosslation is performed to generate a representation of the frequency content of the input signal. The representation comprises initial crosslation values predominantly corresponding to interference and subsequent crosslation values corresponding to the desired signal. For the crosslation values corresponding to interference, a maximum value and slope are calculated. These are used as parameter indicators of the interference and also to identify which values should be discarded in the processing of the desired signal. With the crosslation values corresponding to interference discarded, the remaining crosslation values are processed to calculate properties of the desired signal.

    Abstract: In a method for adaptive calculation of pulse compression filter coefficients for a received signal in a radar installation, which received signal is evaluated with the aid of a complex pulse compression mismatch filter, a pulse compression filter coefficient set h(t) is calculated for an ideal theoretical received signal s(t) for a pulse compression mismatch filter, such that a pulse compression output signal results with a desired main lobe to side lobe ratio. A transformed set of pulse compression filter coefficients Hopt(f) for the complex pulse compression mismatch filter Hopt(f) is calculated for a distorted received signal using the following rule: H opt  ( f ) = S  ( f ) · H  ( f ) · S v *  ( f )  S v  ( f )  2 where S(f): the Fourier-transform of an undistorted received signal s(t), Sv(f): the Fourier-transform of a distorted received signal sv(t), sv*(f): the complex conjugate of Sv(f), H(f): the Fourier-transform of the pulse compression mismatch filter h(t).

    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention includes a step of transmitting an OFDM waveform including several frequency carrier signals transmitted simultaneously, the frequency carrier signals being coded in order to improve the Doppler response. An embodiment of the invention includes a step of receiving the echoed waveform from the target. The initial phase of each frequency carrier signal is recovered from the echoed waveform. The recovered initial phase of each frequency carrier signal is cyclically shifted in order to compensate for the Doppler effect and subsequently decoded. A compressed pulse is synthesized from the decoded initial phases.
