  • Patent number: 12591039
    Abstract: A system is provided for measuring a power radiated pattern of an incident radio frequency (RF) signal indicating spatial distribution characteristics of a device under test (DUT). The system includes multiple antenna elements arranged in an array, where the antenna elements include antennas and diodes coupled to the antennas, respectively. Each antenna has a radar cross-section (RCS) that is too small for the antenna elements to operate in a reflect mode. Each diode is zero biased, such that the diodes receive the incident RF signal through the antennas to which the diodes are respectively coupled, and rectify the incident RF signal to DC voltages that are proportional to power of the incident RF signal, enabling the antenna elements to operate in a detect mode.

  • Patent number: 12489964
    Abstract: The present invention provides a computer-implemented method, a system, and a computer program product for path planning According to the computer-implemented method, a target discriminator is selected from a set of discriminators with different kernel sizes based on a target image obtained from an image capturing device. In this case, a confidence of the target image is determined using the target discriminator. The confidence indicates whether the target image contains a target object to be captured. Thereby, a movement indication for moving the image capturing device to capture the target object is determined based on the confidence of the target image.
