Abstract: A novel and useful system and method for extending the virtual array of an existing MIMO automotive radar. In one embodiment, the virtual array is extended by adding one or more additional TX or RX antennas to the existing radar thereby improving the resolution in either azimuth or elevation or both. The additional antennas are added via one or more extender printed circuit boards (PCBs) that are connected to the main radar PCB. The one or more extender PCBs include the additional TX or RX antenna arrays and are adapted to be a set fixed distance in orientation from the main PCB in accordance with the desired virtual array. The one or more extender PCBs and main PCB are mounted in housings that are rigidly mechanically connected to each other. The local oscillator (LO) signal generated on the main PCB is fed to the one or more extender PCBs via any suitable signal connection including RF, electrical, or waveguide connections.

Abstract: At least some aspects of the present disclosure provide for a method of data transmission, performed by a wireless device. In some examples, the method includes receiving a localization tone having a first value. The method further includes inserting the localization tone into a data packet at an application layer of a communication protocol stack, the localization tone preceding data of a payload of the data packet and having a last bit immediately preceding a first bit of the data of the payload. The method further includes generating a modified localization tone estimating an effect of processing on the localization tone, wherein the modified localization tone is generated and configured to have the first value after undergoing processing. The method further includes replacing the localization tone in the data packet with the modified localization tone. The method further includes transmitting the data packet.

Abstract: A system and method for indirectly controlling network devices, implemented using standard protocols, without a server at the network device. The network device monitors the traffic between a WEB server and a WEB browser. The control is implemented by embedding commands and responses in standard HTTP redirect requests sent by the WEB server to the WEB browser. The network device monitors the requests, and detects the commands according to the port number they are sent from. If the commands are HTTP redirect requests and comply with a specific command format, the network device implements the commands. Additional services may be provided, wherein a RADIUS server, security module etc. are connected to the network device.
