  • Patent number: 5554991
    Abstract: A dynamic image is recreated from an observation radar whose extractor supplies an output of blips which are stored. These blips are firstly subject to a range/azimuth processing, which enables the image to be constructed. Then, they are subject to a pre-display processing in order to determine the geometry of the image and its brightness, after which the actual display takes place.

  • Patent number: 5495249
    Abstract: The surveillance radar device comprises, in combination, a fixed antenna for providing electronic scanning of space in bearing in the horizontal plane, a transmit source and microwave frequency transmit/receive means with a circulator, a transmit channel, a receive channel and means for subdividing the receive channel into a sum signal and at least one difference signal. A first and a second receiver element with frequency change respectively receive the sum and difference signals, and provide numerically coded outputs. Processing means process numerical signals from the first and second receiver elements for the radar detection of objects in the zone under surveillance.

  • Patent number: 4847622
    Abstract: A coherent pulse radar is activated successively according to at least two pulse repetition frequencies. These frequencies are of values such that (a) the received signal is ambiguous both with regard to distance and with regard to velocity, and (b) their ratio is reducible to the quotient of two integers which are preferably adjacent and have no common factors. For the frequency analysis, a number of samples is taken which depends upon the pulse repetition frequency, the numbers of samples associated with the two pulse repetition frequencies being, in relation to one another, in the ratio of the two integers. The distance/velocity resolution cell is then invariant with respect to the pulse repetition frequency; this permits removal of the ambiguity concerning mean information items appertaining to a long integration time.
