  • Patent number: 12287398
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and a method for generating a radar image of a scene. The method comprises receiving radar measurements of a scene collected from a set of antennas, wherein the set of antennas are under uncertainties caused by one or a combination of position ambiguities and clock ambiguities of each of the antennas. The method further comprises generating the radar image of the scene by solving a sparse recovery problem. The sparse recovery problem determines, until a termination condition is met, a set of image shifts of the radar image corresponding to different uncertainties of the antennas and updates an estimate of the radar image, based on the determined set of image shifts of the radar image. The sparse recovery problem is solved with a neural network denoiser that denoises a filtering of the estimate of the radar image.

  • Patent number: 12282115
    Abstract: When sensing is performed in a radio access network, clutter may be removed from echo signals using clutter contributing signals, that may be determined based on clutter calibration matrices and one-dimensional echo signals obtained by transforming multi-dimensional representations of echo signals at least partly into the one-dimensional echo signals. When generating, for example, clutter calibration matrices, sensing results may be transformed into one dimensional vectors, that are arranged to two-dimensional matrices. Vectors associated with clutter components in two-dimensional matrices may be used to obtain the clutter calibration matrices.

    Abstract: In this example, a radar system is such that normally, each of a plurality of radar devices 100-1 to 100-6 monitors the monitoring area for the same using a radar signal that has been frequency modulated within a first modulation band, and when one of the plurality of radar devices 100-1 to 100-6 fails, at least one radar device (for example, radar device 100-1) adjacent to the radar device (for example, radar device 100-2) that has failed monitors the monitoring area of the radar device that has failed using a radar signal that has been frequency modulated within a second modulation band that is narrower than the first modulation band. As a result, even if one of the radar devices fails, it is possible to continue monitoring the monitoring area of the radar device.
