  • Patent number: 11906618
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hybrid multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar concept. Via a first subset of a plurality of transmit channels and during a first time interval, first frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar signals are con-currently transmitted with different phase offsets among different transmit channels of the first subset in accordance with a first predefined code division multiplexing scheme. Via a second subset of the transmit channels and during a second time interval subsequent to the first time interval, second FMCW radar signals are concurrently transmitted with different phase offsets among different transmit channels of the second subset in accordance with a second predefined code division multiplexing scheme.

  • Publication number: 20220365196
    Abstract: A radar system includes first, second, and third transmitter branches. The first transmitter branch transmits a first frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) signal having a first set of chirps having a first phase setting such that phase values of consecutive chirps differ by a first phase difference. The second transmitter branch transmits a second FMCW signal having a second set of chirps having a second phase setting such that phase values of consecutive chirps differ by a second phase difference. The third transmitter branch transmits a third FMCW signal having a third set of chirps having a third phase setting such that phase values of consecutive chirps differ by a third phase difference. The first phase difference, the second phase difference, and the third phase difference are different phase differences. The first phase difference, the second phase difference, and the third phase difference are asymmetrically distributed relative to each other.

  • Patent number: 11428796
    Abstract: A radar system and a method for detecting a target using the radar system. The radar system includes a waveform generator, a plurality of phase shifters, at least one mixer, an analog-to-digital converter, a fast Fourier transform (FFT) processor, and a processor. The waveform generator generates a frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) signal including a set of chirps repeated for a predetermined number of times. The phase shifters shift a phase of each chirp on a transmit branch. The phases transmitted via first and second transmit branches are shifted in accordance with first and second sets of regularly spaced phases, respectively. The first and second sets of regularly spaced phases have first and second phase differences, respectively, that are different from each other. The FFT processor performs FFT processing and the processor determines an angle of direction of the target based on range Doppler map bins.

  • Publication number: 20130067544
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for authentication management of a sensor node having a subscription processing function, and a method for operating the system. Upon receiving information about a sensor node allocated with an IP address, the system supports the access of only authorized user equipment to a corresponding sensor node, which blocking any direct access of unauthorized user equipment to the sensor node, thereby strengthening the security of the sensor node. According to the present invention, a relay server receives subscription information from user equipment. The relay server checks permission validity of corresponding user equipment. If the user equipment has a valid permission, the relay server transmits the subscription information to a sensor node, and transmits subscription acceptance information to the user equipment. Then the sensor node transmits the collected and stored information to the user equipment having a valid permission.
