A method and device for generating an image, the method including: generating an active radar image of an object; displaying the active radar image in a first representation on a display of a handheld screening device; detecting a movement of the handheld screening device; generating a second representation of the displayed radar image based on the detected movement.

Method for generating an image and handheld screening device

A handheld screening device including: an antenna array including a plurality of antennas; an input mechanism to select an operation mode; and a controller to determine a group of antennas of the plurality of antennas, wherein the number of antennas in the group is based on the selected operation mode, and to control the group of antennas to emit electromagnetic waves. A corresponding method operates the handheld screening device.

Method for operating a handheld screening device and a handheld screening device

A method for generating an image is provided including taking a first active radar image of an object from a first position with a handheld screening device; taking a second active radar image of the object from a second position with the handheld screening device; and generating a third image based on the first active radar image and the second active radar image. A corresponding handheld screening device is provided as well.

A method for operating a handheld screening device is provided, including taking a first image; determining a region of interest in the first image; and generating a scanned image by an active radar scan of the region of interest. A corresponding handheld screening device is provided as well.

Method for operating a handheld screening device and handheld screening device

A method for displaying an active radar image of an object on a handheld screening device is provided comprising taking a sequence of active radar images of an object, the different active radar images of the sequence being representative for different distances of the object from the handheld screening device; selecting an image of the sequence of active radar images; and displaying the selected image on a display. A corresponding handheld screening device is provided as well.

Method for displaying an active radar image and handheld screening device

The present invention relates to an object detection system and method for determining range and velocity of a target object by transmitting a frequency modulated continuous wave transmission signal and receiving transmission signal reflections of the transmission signal from the target object as a reception signal. Each modulation block of the transmission signal comprises a number of first type chirps, each first type chirp having a first slope, and a number of second type chirps, each second type chirp having a second slope different from the first slope. Two consecutive chirps of the same type have a frequency offset A mixed signal based on the transmission signal and the reception signal and using the first type chirps and the second type chirps is processed, in order to determine the range and velocity of the target object.
