  • Publication number: 20130016003
    Abstract: A beam forming device that enables the use for wideband digital beam forming and provide a high accuracy a beam forming device comprises a transmitter arrangement and a receiver arrangement, wherein the total number of transmit antennas and receive antennas is at least three. A beam forming unit performs beam forming to obtain beam formed output signals from said receive signals by use of corrected beam forming weights. A correction unit corrects preliminary beam forming weights in amplitude and/or phase by use of frequency-dependent final calibration coefficients representing the different amplitude and/or phase responses of the different channels between said at least one transmit antenna and said at least one receive antenna at two or more separate frequencies covered by the radiation transmitted towards the scene.

  • Publication number: 20120112806
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a frequency synthesizer comprising a main unit and a side unit. The main unit comprises a main phase detector to obtain a main control signal, a main oscillator that generates a main synthesized frequency output signal representing the frequency synthesizer output signal based on said main control signal, and a mixer that mixes said main synthesized frequency output signal with a side synthesized frequency output signal to obtain said mixer output signal. The side unit generates said side synthesized frequency output signal and comprises a frequency signal generation unit that provides a linear frequency sweep signal or a fixed-frequency control signal at a fine frequency resolution from said fixed-frequency side reference signal, and a side oscillator that generates said side synthesized frequency output signal based on said frequency sweep signal or said fixed-frequency control signal.
