  • Patent number: 4489321
    Abstract: A Doppler radar speed sensing system includes a microwave transceiver and a circuit for generating an input pulse train having pulsewidths related to the ground speed of a vehicle carrying the system. A signal processor includes a microprocessor which executes a signal processing algorithm which converts the input pulse train to an output pulse train having desired characteristics. For example, the output pulse train has output pulses with pulsewidths and frequency related to the vehicle ground speed. The output signal pulse train responds rapidly to changes in sensed ground speed, but is insensitive to Doppler signal dropout.
