  • Patent number: 10310066
    Abstract: An indirect passive radar method and system utilizing information obtained from a non-direct source and reflected signals from an object to be identified to determine information associated with the object to be identified, such as speed, location, shaped, distance and so forth.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 4, 2019
    Assignee: SAZE TECHNOLOGIES, LLC
    Inventors: Michael Zatman, Max Scharrenbroich, Jason Eicke
  • Patent number: 8903017
    Abstract: Array amplitude modulation which includes mapping a data symbol to a phase modulation signal and an amplitude modulation signal for transmission from antenna elements; applying the phase modulation signal to the antenna element amplifiers; and generating a pattern of enabling/disabling the antenna element amplifiers as a function of the amplitude modulation to produce a phase and amplitude modulated transmission from the antenna elements.

  • Patent number: 6598014
    Abstract: A system and method of tracking ambient signals, detecting or receiving desired signals, and suppressing undesired signals. An array of sensors receives ambient signals and generates N channels of data. A transformation device accepts the data from the array and generates N′ channels of data. An adaptive processor accepts the N′ channels of data from the output of the transformation device and processes the N′ channels of data to update the settings of the transformation device, such that only N′ degrees of freedom are adaptively manipulated by the adaptive processor at an instant, the manipulation being done in a manner that instantaneously senses changes in signal environment and adjusts the settings of the transformation device in a closed-loop. The adaptive processor optionally combines these N′ channels to produce system output beam(s) that remove residual interference present out the output of the transformation device.
