Patents by Inventor Carl D. Cook

Carl D. Cook has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Relative location determination of mobile sensor nodes
    Patent number: 8416071
    Abstract: Automated sensor localization systems and methods are described. An exemplary application for the sensor localization system is in a “Sense Through the Wall” (STTW) radar system, involving a plurality of distributed sensors or sensor nodes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 3, 2009
    Date of Patent: April 9, 2013
    Assignee: Raytheon Company
    Inventors: Scott E. Adcook, Carl D. Cook
  • Mobile sense through the wall radar system
    Patent number: 8169362
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for sensing a target through a wall or obstruction by a Moving Target Indicator (MTI) radar sensor. In an exemplary embodiment, a series of radar pulses are transmitted at frequencies less than about 5 GHz. Radar return signals are received at a plurality of receive antenna array subapertures. The radar return signals are processed by a digital beamformer to form multiple beams. Target detection processing detects moving and stationary targets through a plurality of parallel target detection signal processing paths.

    Date of Patent: May 1, 2012
    Assignee: Raytheon Company
    Inventors: Carl D. Cook, Scott E. Adcook, Michael D. Lee, Mena J. Ghebranious
  • Method and system for motion compensation for hand held MTI radar sensor
    Patent number: 7978124
    Abstract: Methods to quantify the amount of radial platform motion of a portable sensor are described. In an exemplary embodiment, the method uses the frequency domain phase data in the range bin corresponding to a large stationary object. A correction factor is computed and applied back into the time domain samples prior to processing by Doppler filters used to measure motion in the scene.
