  • System and method for target detection
    Patent number: 9857465
    Abstract: A sonar based sensor for localization of a target in air is described. The sensor comprises a wide or ultra-wide band emitter for emitting a wide or ultra-wide band signal, and a set of spatially randomly or irregularly positioned receivers for receiving the wide or ultra-wide band signal after reflection at the target. A corresponding processor and method for localizing also is disclosed.
