  • Patent number: 6826001
    Abstract: The present invention provides a color filter which is more durable than a dye-type color filter and also has green pixel portions which exhibit a bright green color having a strong yellowish tinge when used in a liquid crystal display device using a three-band lamp having a main emission line of green light of about 545 nm as a light source, thus enabling the liquid crystal display device to display bright images even when using a backlighting light source having a low intensity. This color filter comprises green pixel portions which (1) contain a halogenated metal phthalocyanine dye wherein 8 to 16 halogen atoms are bonded to benzene rings in one phthalocyanine molecule, and (2) exhibit maximum transmittance at a wavelength within a range from 520 nm to 590 nm with respect to the transmission spectra of the entire range of visible light.

  • Patent number: 5036328
    Abstract: A pulse compressing apparatus for use in a radar system receives an input signal data stream which has been received by the radar system and which corresponds to a transmitted long pulse. A weight coefficient generator generates the same number of weight coefficients as the number of input signal values in the input signal data stream. The same number of arithmetic units is provided and the weight coefficients are sequentially transferred to each arithmetic means where they are processed with the input signal values. The results of the processing from the arithmetic units are added together to produce a compressed pulse output.

  • Patent number: 4839655
    Abstract: A radar system includes N Doppler filters (N is an integer larger than 1), N CFAR (Constant False Alarm Rate) processing means, a video selector, automatic target detecting means, a video integrator, and a D/A converter. The N CFAR processing means are respectively connected to output terminals of the Doppler filters and automatically adapt amplitude distribution characteristics of a signal, such as clutter and receiver noise, and convert the signal into a signal having the same amplitude distribution characteristics as the receiver noise and suppressing the converted signal. The video selector is connected to output terminals of the N CFAR processing means and selects an output signal from any one thereof in units of radar range bins and synthesizes an N channel signals into a single channel signal. The automatic target detecting means is connected to an output terminal of the video selector.

  • Patent number: 4654665
    Abstract: A radar system comprises means for forming a transmission pulse signal as m sets of n pulses, the individual sets having respective PRPs Ti (i=1, 2, . . . , m) moving target detection means, and angle measurement means utilizing beam-to-beam amplitude comparison and interpolation for a given moving target. Beam-to-beam amplitude comparison and interpolation is carried out at least twice for one target by making use of a pair of video signals with the same PRP processed by the moving target detection means. The angle measurement is achieved through a predetermined correlation processing over thus obtained interpolated angle values for a target.

  • Patent number: 4053885
    Abstract: A moving target indication radar is disclosed in which the zero-Doppler-speed components of the radar return signal are eliminated by correlation processing in the azimuthal direction. In some cases, a similar correlation processing is concurrently performed in the range direction. The moving target indication radar has both a radar signal analog processing portion and a radar signal digital processing portion. The received pulse returns are processed by quadrature phase detectors to provide outputs which are in phase and quadrature phase analog data signals representing real and imaginary parts of the Doppler frequency data. These signals are converted to corresponding digital words which are then divided into a plurality of digital Doppler frequency components by a discrete Fourier transform circuit. A buffer memory is connected to store the outputs of the discrete Fourier transform circuit.
