    摘要: The present invention discloses an extendable antenna for a portable communication device, made of two radiating wires each shaped as an open loop; a first loop fixed and a second loop movable between two positions: in parallel or alternatively vertically to the first loop; the parallel position suitable for compactly carrying the device in non-active mode, and the vertical combination configured to produce a substantially isotropic radiation pattern, particularly instrumental for satellite communications. According to one embodiment, this device is a satellite served Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) for Search and Rescue (SAR) of people in distress, configured to be wrist worn.

    摘要: A system for identifying a drone is adapted to determine a base threat value for a drone. The system includes a scanning system, configured to obtain data that is stored in a pattern database. A timer that has a data structure for storing a counter initialized to a predetermined value, the timer being operable to iteratively increment the counter if the counter value is less than a timer increment. A microprocessor is programmed with instructions to receive information from the scanning system about the drone. Then, to store the information in a pattern database. After that, to determine a base threat value of the drone based on the information stored in the pattern database. Finally, to communicate the base threat value to a user so that the user can determine whether the drone is a friend or a foe.

    摘要: A bistatic radar system may include a transmitter, a target at a first known position, a receiver at a second known position, and a transmitter position determination unit. The receiver is configured to receive one or more reflected radar signals transmitted from the transmitter and reflected off the target. The receiver is configured to receive one or more direct radar signals transmitted from the transmitter. The transmitter position determination unit is configured to determine a position of the transmitter based on a determination of a distance between the first and second known positions and a determination of a first angular difference between the reflected radar signal(s) and the direct radar signal(s) that are received by the receiver.

    摘要: A radio-frequency interferometry method for determining parameters of motion of a moving object from phase difference information from an antenna baseline formed of two antennas. At each of a plurality of observation events, compute a posterior probability density function from the phase differences from the baseline, separate the modes with a threshold value of probability density, and compute a probability of each mode. For each possible sequence of modes, determine a mode sequence probability as the product of the probabilities of each mode in that sequence, estimate a χ2 goodness of fit function based on an assumed type of motion. Determine the net probability of each possible sequence of modes as the product of a relative probability derived from the χ2 and the mode sequence probability. Alternately, two or more parallel or colinear baselines are used, and the posterior PDF is a combined PDF over each of the baselines.
