Patent number: 10505572Abstract: Systems and apparatuses include a sniffer circuit, a radio frequency processor, and a beamforming radio frequency integrated circuit. The sniffer circuit is structured to receive spurious signals from a sniffer antenna and self-jamming signals, and to produce an interference signal based on the spurious signals and the self-jamming signals. The radio frequency processor is structured to receive wideband signals from a plurality of radiating elements, receive the interference signals from the sniffer circuit, execute a subtraction from the wideband signals based on the interference signals, and produce desired signals. The beamforming radio frequency integrated circuit is structured to receive the desired signals from the radio frequency processor, execute beamforming operations, and produce an output signal.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2017Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC.Inventors: James B. West, Ted J. Hoffmann, Russell D. Wyse, Michael L. Hageman

Patent number: 10025097Abstract: Head-up display, which is mounted on a vehicle, performs projection on a transparent reflective member, and allows an observer to visually recognize a virtual image, includes display device that displays an image, and a projection optical system that has refractive optical system and projects displayed image displayed by display device on eye box of the observer. As an angle formed between a vector of a light beam that is incident on refractive optical system and a vector of an output light beam, the angle is greater at a light beam on an image end passing through a vehicle inner side of refractive optical system than at a light beam on an image end passing through a vehicle outer side of refractive optical system.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2017Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Satoshi Kuzuhara, Hiroaki Okayama

Patent number: 9712275Abstract: A method for waveform-enabled jammer excision (WEJE) may include performing a jammer measurement during a look-through window when no signal-of-interest (SOI) is present and obtaining a jammer signal. A SOI-plus-jammer measurement may be performed and a SOI-plus-Jammer signal may be obtained when both the jammer signal and the SOI are present. Optimal weights that maximize a SOI-to-jammer power ratio may be determined. SOI-plus-jammer signals from a number of antenna elements may be optimally weighted and combined to copy the SOI and null the jammer signal based on the determined optimal weights.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2013Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATIONInventors: Russell K. Johnson, James Alan Ivey, Yadunath Bhagvantrao Zambre

Patent number: 7327308Abstract: A test device for a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar is provided. The test device has a central control unit for monitoring the FMCW radar. When the FMCW radar transmits a frequency modulated continuous signal to search for a target, the central control unit of the test device in present invention will simulate the motion of the target according to a plurality of setting parameters and generate an echo signal to the FMCW radar. The present invention also includes a first digital signal synthesizer and a transmitting unit. The first digital signal synthesizer is coupled to the central control unit for generating and transmitting an intermediate-frequency signal to the transmitting unit according to the settings in the central control unit and a reference clock. The transmitting unit generates the echo signal according to the intermediate-frequency signal.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2005Date of Patent: February 5, 2008Assignee: Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology, Armaments Bureau, M.N.D.Inventors: Shih-Tung Cheng, Yao-Hwa Wen, Ke-Tand Chien

Patent number: 6833809Abstract: This invention features an improved technique for search and track surveillance. In this invention, distinct and random (in both space and time) signal beams are simultaneous transmitted from an array of transmitter source elements in a manner to cover all sectors about a source location. In addition, countermeasures against a system according to the invention are difficult because the signal waveforms for each beam are distinct and random, making prediction of any signal waveform for any beam very unlikely. An array of receiver sensor elements is provided to receive signals that are scattered from remote objects and may or may not be co-located with and share the elements of the source array element. The scattered signals are received and processed to yield the direction and range of the remote objects.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2003Date of Patent: December 21, 2004Assignee: Greenwich Technologies AssociatesInventor: Carl M. Elam

Patent number: 6282490Abstract: A map display device is presented including an information memory device for storing map data, a display device for displaying a map based on map data stored in the information memory device, and a display control device, which has a coordinate transformation device for transforming coordinates on a curved plane into coordinates on a projected plane, for controlling the readout of map data from the information memory device and the map display on the display device. The display control device relates coordinates on the map to coordinates on the curved plane with respect to a coordinate transformation reference point, transforms coordinates on the curved plane into coordinates on the projected plane using the coordinate transformation device, and displays a map on the display device by using the coordinates transformed on the projected plane. Therefore, the device enables a driver to obtain the same sense of distance unaffected by the direction by using the present position.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 1998Date of Patent: August 28, 2001Assignee: Aisin AW Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mitsuhiro Nimura, Hiroyoshi Masuda, Hirofumi Morimoto
