Adaptive pulse train layout

A RADAR system, comprising:

• a RADAR pulse generation unit configured to emit RADAR pulse waves;
• a range identifier configured to identify a scan range for the RADAR pulse generation unit, the scan range being a radial distance from the RADAR pulse generation unit;
• and
• a control unit configured to receive the scan range from the range identifier and cause the RADAR pulse generation unit to emit a RADAR pulse train that will be a pattern of RADAR pulse waves wherein:
• the pattern of RADAR pulse waves will include a combination of:
• a type of RADAR pulse wave;
• a number of each type of RADAR pulse wave;
• a RADAR pulse wave duration or RADAR pulse wave width;
• a RADAR pulse wave amplitude;
• a temporal spacing between each RADAR pulse wave;
• a sequential order for the type and the number of RADAR pulse waves;
• or at least one sector of space surrounding the RADAR system through which the RADAR pulse waves will propagate;
• the type of RADAR pulse wave will include any one or combination of a short RADAR pulse wave width, a short RADAR pulse wave temporal spacing, a medium RADAR pulse wave width, a medium RADAR pulse wave temporal spacing, a long RADAR pulse wave width, or a long RADAR pulse wave temporal spacing;
• and
• the control unit is configured to continuously adapt the pattern of RADAR pulses in accordance with the received scan range.

A method for generating RADAR pulse waves, the method comprising:

• identifying a scan range within a 360 degree perimeter;
• generating a RADAR pulse train that will be a pattern of RADAR pulse waves, the pattern of RADAR pulse waves including a type of RADAR pulse wave and a temporal spacing between each RADAR pulse wave;
• and
• continuously adapting the pattern of RADAR pulses by adjusting the type of RADAR pulse wave and the temporal spacing between each RADAR pulse wave in accordance with the received scan range.
