Patents by Inventor Jan-Olov Winnberg

Jan-Olov Winnberg 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).

  • Patent number: 7242345
    Abstract: A method is described for detecting an object with target radar. After the first detection of an object, the antenna is tilted. The original direction towards the object is restored by electronically steering the emitted beam. The beamsteering is obtained by changing the frequency of the emitted signal. Thus, the object may be detected several times on different frequencies. The method is particularly applicable in search and track radars.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6335946
    Abstract: In a method and a system for transmission of information, broad band frequency sweeps are used. A certain sweep then denotes a certain symbol. The frequencies between which the sweeps occur are varied according to a pseudo-random scheme. Furthermore, a receiver for efficient detection of such broad band sweeps comprises reference oscillators in different receiving channels. The system has very good performance in terms of data rate, time delay, use of a large channel bandwidth, low probability of detection and low risk of tapping and good noise immunity.

  • Patent number: 4385298
    Abstract: An MTI-filter included in the receiver part of a tracking radar for suppressing clutter when receiving echo pulses from a certain target. The transmitting pulses of the tracking radar are transmitted in series where the carrier frequency is varied from pulse to pulse and is repeated from series to series. The MTI-filter (F) contains a number of delay links (DL1-DLN), for example digital shift registers which are stepped forward timely with the radar PRF. The input of the filter and the output of the shift register M.ltoreq.N are connected to a differentiator (SK) where M=the number of carrier frequencies in a pulse series.

  • Patent number: 4375641
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for a tracking radar which transmits radar pulses towards a certain target whose target range from the beginning is known. The carrier frequency of the transmitted radar pulses are during the target tracking varied from one pulse to the next following, so that a pulse series including a certain number M of carrier frequencies is treated. The number M is chosen with reference to the continuously measured target range and as long as this range is less than a certain value. If the target range exceeds this value the number M of carrier frequencies is changed and a new pulse series including this new number is transmitted. The unambiguous range to the followed target becomes dependent on the frequency repetition frequency in the transmitted pulse series instead of the PRF of the radar.
