20220043111 | METHOD FOR EVALUATING RADAR SYSTEMS - The invention relates to a method for evaluating, in particular for imaging and/or for a MIMO method, a radar system comprising at least one first radar unit for emitting and receiving signals and at least one second radar unit for emitting and receiving signals, which form a total radar array, wherein only a partial radar array of the total radar array is used in the evaluation. | 2022-02-10 |
20220043112 | DOPPLER RADAR FLOCK DETECTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide wildlife feeding flock detection using a remote sensing imagery system. A remote sensing imagery system includes a radar assembly mounted to a mobile structure and a coupled logic device. The logic device is configured to receive radar returns corresponding to a detected target, determine a radial velocity spectrum associated with the detected target based, at least in part, on the received radar returns, and determine a probability the detected target includes a feeding flock based, at least in part, on the determined radial velocity spectrum. The logic device may generate radar image data based on the received radar returns, the determined radial velocity spectrum, and/or the probability the detected target includes the feeding flock. Subsequent user input and/or the sensor data may be used to adjust a steering actuator, a propulsion system thrust, and/or other operational systems of the mobile structure. | 2022-02-10 |
20220043113 | RANGING SYSTEM, CALIBRATION METHOD, PROGRAM, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - Ranging systems, calibration methods, programs, and electronic apparatus with lower cost calibration are disclosed. In one example, a ranging system includes a light source, a sensor that detects reflection light of light emitted from the light source and reflected on a target object, a determination unit that determines whether or not a peripheral object is usable as a reflection object on the basis of a predetermined determination condition, and a generation unit that generates a correction table for correcting an offset value between a true value of a range value and a measured value on the basis of a detection result received from the sensor and obtained by detecting reflection light of light applied from the light source to a target object usable as the reflection object in a case where the peripheral object is determined to be usable as the reflection object. | 2022-02-10 |
20220043114 | DATA REDUCTION TECHNIQUES IN A LIDAR SYSTEM - Techniques to adjust a gain of an analog-to-digital converter circuit (ADC) and/or an ADC full scale from one sample to the next of an analog input signal to compensate for the signal loss over distance, which can increase an effective dynamic range of the system. The benefit of compensating for the signal loss due to distance is that a data interface between the ADC of the receiver of the LIDAR system and a signal processor no longer needs to support the dynamic range from the range specification. | 2022-02-10 |
20220043115 | MASTER-OSCILLATOR POWER-AMPLIFIER (MOPA) LIGHT SOURCE WITH OPTICAL ISOLATOR - In one embodiment, a light source is configured to emit an optical signal. The light source includes a seed laser diode configured to produce a seed optical signal and a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) configured to amplify the seed optical signal to produce the emitted optical signal. The light source also includes an optical isolator disposed between the seed laser diode and the SOA, where the optical isolator is configured to (i) transmit the seed optical signal to the SOA and (ii) reduce an amount of light that propagates from the SOA toward the seed laser diode. | 2022-02-10 |
