  • Publication number: 20240125898
    Abstract: A method of designing a radar, comprises receiving data pertaining to a set of reflected signals received from a distribution of objects by a respective set of receiving antennas at a respective set of locations, and feeding the data and the locations as training data to a machine learning procedure. The machine learning procedure calculates, simultaneously, a set of learned antenna locations and a set of learned parameters associating the signals with the objects, thereby providing a trained machine learning procedure parametrized by the set of learned parameters.
