Publication number: 20210132209Abstract: During operation, transmitters in the electronic device provide first and second FMCW radar signals, where carrier frequencies of the first and the second FMCW radar signals have a predefined variation as a function of time over a predefined frequency range, and the predefined variation as a function of time of a second carrier frequency of the second FMCW radar signal has a predefined delay relative to the predefined variation as a function of time of a first carrier frequency of the first FMCW radar signal. Furthermore, at least a receiver in the electronic device receives first and second reflected FMCW radar signals within a bandwidth of the receiver, where, at a given time, a frequency difference between carrier frequencies of the first and the second reflected FMCW radar signals, which corresponds to the predefined delay, is less than the bandwidth (and which may be less than a predefined value).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2019Publication date: May 6, 2021Applicant: Augmented Radar Imaging, Inc.Inventors: Victor Shtrom, Ketan N. Patel, Darin T. Milton

Patent number: 10833421Abstract: A circuit board in an electronic device includes a first set of transmit antennas and a first set of receive antennas arranged along an azimuth direction, and a second set of transmit antennas and a second set of receive antennas arranged along a direction that includes components in the azimuth direction and an elevation direction. Moreover, separations between adjacent transmit antennas in the first or second set of transmit antennas along the azimuth direction may be greater than one half of the fundamental wavelength. Furthermore, separations between adjacent receive antennas in the first or second set of receive antennas along the azimuth direction may equal one half of the fundamental wavelength. Additionally, adjacent antennas in the second set of transmit antennas and the second set of receive antennas may be partially offset from each other and partially overlap with each other along the elevation direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: Augmented Radar Imaging, Inc.Inventors: Victor Shtrom, Todd Gustavson, Ketan N. Patel, Darin T. Milton, Janine Cheng

Patent number: 9379456Abstract: A circuit board for wireless communications includes communication circuitry for modulating and/or demodulating a radio frequency (RF) signal and an antenna apparatus for transmitting and receiving the RF signal, the antenna apparatus having selectable antenna elements located near one or more peripheries of the circuit board. A first antenna element produces a first directional radiation pattern; a second antenna element produces a second directional radiation pattern offset from the first radiation pattern. The antenna elements may include one or more reflectors configured to provide gain and broaden the frequency response of the antenna element. A switching network couples one or more of the selectable elements to the communication circuitry and provides impedance matching regardless of which or how many of the antenna elements are selected.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2013Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: RUCKUS WIRELESS, INC.Inventors: Victor Shtrom, Darin T. Milton, William S. Kish
