Patent number: 11644536Abstract: A system simulates a moving target for a radar system under test. The system includes a Doppler simulation circuit (DSC), coupled to an input, to apply a frequency shift to RF pulses received on an RF signal to simulate speed. A signal attenuator coupled to the DSC is to simulate signal attenuation due to propagation loss of the RF pulses in atmosphere. A pulse detection circuit is to detect time of receipt of the RF pulses, including a first time of receipt of a falling edge of a first RF pulse. An I/O controller updates a value of the frequency shift for the DSC and of the signal attenuation for the signal attenuator during a time period between the first RF pulse and one of a second RF pulse or a second time at which the second RF pulse should have been received in case of a missing pulse.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2020Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: Eastern OptX, Inc.Inventors: Howard Salvesen, Edward J. MacMullen, Joseph Mazzochette, Jerome Lomurno

Patent number: 10866308Abstract: A test system simulates a moving target for a radar system under test. The test system includes a Doppler simulation circuit, coupled to an input, to apply a frequency shift to RF pulses received on an RF signal generated by the radar system to simulate speed. A signal delay sub-system produces a delay in the RF pulses to simulate distance. A pulse detection circuit is to detect time of receipt of the RF pulses, including a first time of receipt of a falling edge of a first RF pulse. An I/O controller updates a value of the frequency shift for the Doppler simulation circuit and of the delay for the signal delay sub-system during a time period between the first RF pulse and one of a second RF pulse or a second time at which the second RF pulse should have been received in case of a missing pulse.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2018Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: Eastern OptX, Inc.Inventors: Howard Salvesen, Edward J.

Patent number: 10852394Abstract: A radar test computing system includes a host interface coupled to a programmable input/output (I/O) controller, which is to interface with propagation path replicator (PPR) circuitry. A processing device is to detect a start signal received from the controller; receive an update request from the controller in response to detection, by the PPR circuitry, of a first radio RF pulse on a RF signal received from the radar system; retrieve scenario data of distance to and speed of the moving target for a second RF pulse expected to follow the first RF pulse; calculate, using retrieved scenario data, values of a frequency shift, a signal delay, and a signal attenuation for the second RF pulse; and send, during a time period between the first and second RF pulses, these values to the controller for use by the PPR circuitry to simulate the moving target for the second RF pulse.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2018Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Eastern OptX, Inc.Inventors: Howard Salvesen, Edward J.
