Title: Innovations of Patrick Le Bihan

Introduction

Patrick Le Bihan is a notable inventor based in Lannilis, France. He has made significant contributions to the field of radar technology, holding a total of 11 patents. His work focuses on methods and systems that enhance the safety and efficiency of aerial navigation.

Latest Patents

Among his latest patents is a method for guiding an aerial target, particularly during the vertical landing phase. This method involves a first radar processing step that locates and estimates the trajectory of a target using measurements of radial distances, Doppler frequency, and angles of azimuth and elevation from a radar signal. A second radar processing step further refines the target's trajectory along a vertical axis, utilizing the principle of the inverse synthetic antenna. The method effectively controls the target's displacement by comparing the estimated trajectory with the given trajectory.

Another significant patent is for an anticollision radar system designed for aircraft during taxiing. This system includes a radar mounted laterally on the airplane fuselage to detect potential obstacles. The radar features an emission antenna channel and multiple reception antenna channels, all aligned in the same plane. It establishes a distance/Doppler map to separate echoes into resolution cells, allowing for precise detection of possible collision threats.
