Abstract
Aspects of the invention provide improvements to analyze data collected by a radar system. One of the systems includes a phased array module configured to transmit a sequence of pulses to an environment according to a pre-determined pattern. A data analysis system constructs an image based on returned signals from a single point received by the phased array module, and determines one or more characteristics of a target object in the environment based on the image constructed from the returned signals from the single point.
Claims19
A radar system comprising:
- a phased array module configured to transmit a sequence of pulses to an environment according to a pre-determined pattern;
- and
- one or more processors and one or more storage devices storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to (i) construct an image based on returned signals from a single point received by the phased array module, and (ii) determine one or more characteristics of a target object in the environment based on the image constructed from the returned signals from the single point.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a phased array module, signals returned from a sequence of pulses transmitted into an environment according to a pre-determined pattern;
- constructing, by a system of one or more computers, an image based on the returned signals from a single point received by the phased array module;
- and
- determining one or more characteristics of a target object in the environment based on the image constructed from the returned signals from the single point.
A radar system comprising:
- a phased array module configured to transmit a sequence of pulses to an environment according to a pre-determined pattern ;
- and
- one or more processors electrically coupled to the phased array module, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
- (i) construct a point cloud image based on returned signals received by the phased array module;
- and (ii) determine one or more characteristics of a target object in the environment based on data corresponding to a single point in the point cloud image.
