US 2026/0227499 A1 · RADAR SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CALCULATING A POSITION OF A TRANSPONDER

Abstract

A radar system for calculating a position of a transponder is disclosed. A transmitter generates an electromagnetic signal. An antenna transmits and receives the electromagnetic signal. A circulator connects the antenna with the transmitter. A distress signal receiver receives signals from one or more target objects in response to the transmitted electromagnetic signal, and filters a distress signal, representing twelve bright points on the radar screen with adjacent bright points being separated by a fixed distance, at one or more frequency bands received from the transponder through the antenna. Processing circuitry, operatively connected to the transmitter and the distress signal receiver, controls at least one operation of one of the transmitter and the distress signal receiver, and calculates an actual distance of the transponder.
