  • Real-time multistatic radar signal processing system and method
    Patent number: 7345621
    Abstract: A real-time signal processing engine robustly detects, localizes, tracks and classifies ground targets based on radar signals from a multistatic radar system. The system differentiates between different targets based on an optimized cost function, which can include the total returned normalized pulse energy. The local transmitters/receivers can communicate with each other via the transmitted radar signals.

  • Topological mapping using a conductive infrastructure
    Publication number: 20080048669
    Abstract: Described are methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for topological mapping using a conductive infrastructure. A conductive infrastructure of a structure is excited with an excitation signal. The radiated signal is received, the radiated signal being based on the excitation signal and an impedance discontinuity within the conductive infrastructure. A location associated with the impedance discontinuity is determined based on the received radiated signal.
