  • Patent number: 11284404
    Abstract: A device and method of avoiding future self-interference are described. During a current predetermined time period, a priori knowledge of an RF environment is used to determine a change in the environment in a next predetermined time period. Transmission on an interfering channel in response to the change leads to generation of an indication to another device to switch communications in the next predetermined time period to a new channel that is unaffected by transmission on the interfering channel. The new channel is set by the indication or is negotiated by the other device from a list of channels to use in the indication.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 22, 2022

  • Patent number: 8144052
    Abstract: A three-dimensional imaging radar operating at high frequency e.g., 670 GHz radar using low phase-noise synthesizers and a fast chirper to generate a frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) waveform, is disclosed that operates with a multiplexed beam to obtain range information simultaneously on multiple pixels of a target. A source transmit beam may be divided by a hybrid coupler into multiple transmit beams multiplexed together and directed to be reflected off a target and return as a single receive beam which is demultiplexed and processed to reveal range information of separate pixels of the target associated with each transmit beam simultaneously. The multiple transmit beams may be developed with appropriate optics to be temporally and spatially differentiated before being directed to the target. Temporal differentiation corresponds to a different intermediate frequencies separating the range information of the multiple pixels.
