Abstract: There is provided a processor-based method of identifying an airborne object, the method comprising: obtaining a series of target Radar Cross Section (RCS) measurements of an airborne object, with associated aspect angles of the airborne object relative to a measuring radar; calculating at least one estimation of a candidate aircraft RCS time series in accordance with the series of target aspect angles, a candidate aircraft type, and at least one candidate aircraft body orientation; and determining an identification of the airborne object with an aircraft type, in accordance with the estimations of a candidate aircraft RCS time series, and the series of target RCS measurements.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an antenna device including an integrated matching circuit being implemented by at least one controllable capacitor for a number of frequencies. The at least one controllable resonating capacitor determines a resonance frequency of the antenna device. An object of the invention is to provide a compact antenna device which can obtain a desired matching characteristic without using a separate matching circuit which limits miniaturization of the antenna system as a whole and forms a factor of limiting the efficiency of the antenna and raising cost when the antenna is incorporated into the terminal.
