Radar Frequency Hopping

View page
US Patent:
7215278, May 8, 2007
Filed:
Nov 16, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/715342
Inventors:
Brian Bandhauer - Boise ID, US
Assignee:
Preco Electronics, Inc - Boise ID
International Classification:
G01S 7/28
US Classification:
342 82, 342137, 342159
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for adjusting or “hopping” the center frequency or the pulse repetition frequency of a radar system improve the co-locatability of multiple radars commonly located in a region. In a Time Domain Downconversion (TDDC) or Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radar system having a display update period between range sweeps, the preferred device comprises a frequency variable oscillator for adjusting the radar's internal timing reference frequency during a plurality of the display update periods. Radar frequency hopping methods and apparatus may result in improvements in interference immunity compared to other interference reduction techniques and may achieve cost reduction. In frequency hopping radar, if an actual target is present, the receiver waveform will repeat at the newly adjusted center frequency. Confirmation of a target is realized as an ongoing reflection and not interference.

Radar Echolocater With Audio Output

View page
US Patent:
8120521, Feb 21, 2012
Filed:
Oct 28, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/977190
Inventors:
Brian D. Bandhauer - Boise ID, US
Assignee:
Preco Electronics, Inc. - Boise ID
International Classification:
G01S 13/04
G01S 13/56
G01S 13/86
US Classification:
342 24, 342 27, 342 28, 342 52
Abstract:
The echolocater device described herein incorporates the features of integrated sampling radar technology to create a unique device that provides, for example, the visually impaired with an excellent new tool to help navigate the world. Much like a bat using its bio-sonar, the visually impaired will be able to hear subtle differences in audio-replicated radar echoes. In one preferred embodiment of the invention, two integrated-sampling type radar receivers are spaced some convenient distance apart. A single transmitter centered between two receivers transmits pulses of an RF carrier. Audio “IF” output from each receiver is processed and sent to a small speaker worn near each ear. With practice the user of this invention will be able to discern the range, location and motion of individual objects, and may also be able to distinguish particular echo characteristics of differing objects.

Radar Detection Zone Pattern Shaping

View page
US Patent:
20050104766, May 19, 2005
Filed:
Nov 14, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/714259
Inventors:
Brian Bandhauer - Boise ID, US
International Classification:
G01S007/34
US Classification:
342091000, 342092000, 342085000
Abstract:
In an object detection radar system, dynamically adjusting the gain of a radar during its range sweep cycle, either by tuning its transmitter power or its receiver sensitivity or both, allows a variety of detection pattern shapes to be realized. Adjusting the gain is done by using a plurality of different gain corrections, which are applied in the sweep cycle at different ranges. Thus, certain types of detection patterns, as controlled through a setting feature or via a user interface, may be realized by incorporation of an internal microcontroller and associated embedded program into an object detection radar system.

Short Distance Range Resolution In Pulsed Radar

View page
US Patent:
20100265121, Oct 21, 2010
Filed:
Aug 28, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/549868
Inventors:
Brian Bandhauer - Meridian ID, US
Jonathan Cole - Caldwell ID, US
Douglas Todd Hayden - Boise ID, US
John Fadgen - Kuna ID, US
Assignee:
Preco Electronics, Inc. - Boise ID
International Classification:
G01S 13/08
US Classification:
342135
Abstract:
Pulsed radar detects the presence and range of very short-range objects via small perturbations in phase and/or amplitude of relatively long duration coherently related transmit pulses. In one embodiment, echoes forming a received signal waveform from a sampling baseband radar receiver are processed at audio frequency to look for perturbations of the phase of the time-stretched received radar signal while the radar is still transmitting a long-duration pulse. In a second embodiment, the time-stretched received signal is processed to look for perturbations in the amplitude of the received radar signal. Small amplitude perturbations due to constructive and destructive interference of the transmitted and reflected signals occur in the receiver when objects are very close to the radar if the receiver is not heavily saturated. These same techniques can also be used to achieve highly accurate ranging of long-distance objects and detection of overlapping echoes from multiple objects.
