Abstract
Examples disclosed herein relate to reconfigurable circuits and systems for a radar system enabling both short-range and long-range operation. A reconfiguration module enables the various configuration changes for operation. The multi-range operation may be used to adjust transmission parameters of other modules including wireless communications.
Claims20
An RF front end system, comprising:
- a plurality of antenna elements;
- a configuration network coupled to the plurality of antenna elements;
- an RF module coupled to configuration network;
- wherein the configuration network is adapted for multiple range operation.
1 more element
An antenna array radar system, comprising:
- a receiver to receive radar signals;

- a second antenna element array;
- at least one power divider and combiner network coupled to each of the first and second antenna element arrays;
- and
- a reconfiguration module coupled to the at least one power divider and combiner network and adapted to reconfigure reception and transmission paths through the radar system.
4 more elements
A vehicle system, comprising:
- a wireless communication system adapted for high directivity cellular communications, comprising:
- a communication module;
- and
- a transmission enhancement module;
- and
- a radar module comprising:
- a transceiver;
- an antenna module;
- and
- a range control module coupled to the transceiver and the antenna module, the range control module adapted to configure the radar module for multiple ranges of operation.
