A synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image of a wide coverage area is acquired during a frame containing a first plurality of ambiguities induced in the SAR image from radar scatterers within the area. The area is illuminated with radar pulses and a segmented receive antenna oriented towards the area. The segmented receive antenna has a second plurality of sub-apertures, where the second plurality of sub-apertures is larger than the first plurality of ambiguities. Each sub-aperture has its own receiver. The digital stream from each receiver is stored in a computer for the duration of the frame to obtain frame data. A SAR image is extracted from the frame data. The first plurality of ambiguities are identified from analysis of the frame data, and a correction is computed to account for the first plurality of ambiguities contained within the synthetic aperture image. The correction is applied to reduce distortions caused by the ambiguities in the SAR image.

Spatial multibeam ambiguity resolving technique (SMART)

A method and system of providing access to a shared memory interconnected to a first controller and a second controller via a bus, the bus having control signals associated therewith for data transfer control and communication between the first and the second controllers. The second controller transmits an access request to the first controller for control of the bus to access the memory. The first controller selectively grants the access request and transmits an acknowledge to the second controller; and upon receiving the acknowledge, the second controller accesses the memory for data transfer. The first controller has a first priority for accessing the memory, and the second controller has a second priority for accessing the memory, the second priority being lower than the first priority such that upon request the first controller selectively grants control of the bus to the second controller for memory access, otherwise the first controller maintains control of the bus for memory access. In one embodiment, the second controller transmits an access request to the first controller for control of the bus to access the memory; and in response, the first controller selectively grants the access request and transmits an acknowledge to the second controller. Each of the controllers relinquishes control of the bus by placing the bus in tristate, wherein the relinquishing controller stops driving the bus.

A cancellation technique embodied in a system and a radar signal processing method that is employed to detect near-range targets. The present invention uses a frequency-modulation continuous-wave (FMCW) or stepped frequency waveform and is capable of detecting near-range targets that would normally be obscured by transmitter leakage and internal reflections. This cancellation technique works by transmitting one or more reference ramp signals and then subtracting the coherent average of the transmitted reference ramp signals from a group of succeeding transmitted and received ramp return -signals. The resulting group of FM ramp return signals is noncoherently integrated to achieve more stable target detection statistics. More particularly, the present technique implements the following processing steps. Generating a predetermined number of reference ramp signals. Coherently averaging target return signals corresponding to transmitted reference ramp signals to produce a reference average signal. Transmitting additional ramp signals. Subtracting the reference average signal from each ramp return signal to produce a cancelled ramp signal. Fourier transforming each cancelled ramp signal. Magnitude detecting the Fourier transform signal. Noncoherently integrating the magnitude detected signal. Thresholding the integrated signal. Centroiding the thresholded signal, wherein centroid position is indicative of the range to the nearest target. Displaying target data for a target-whose position is less than a predetermined cutoff range.

A system and technique for phased array antenna beam steering for transmitting and receiving without sending the waveform through an actual (physical) time delay when a time varying frequency is used as the waveform. The inventive system is adapted for use with an antenna having an array of radiating elements and includes a plurality of signal sources. Each source is adapted to provide a signal having a predetermined frequency offset signal for an associated radiating element or set of radiating elements. For transmit a plurality of first mixers is provided. Each of the first mixers is coupled to receive an excitation signal as a first input and the output from a respective one of the sources as a second input. The output of each mixer is coupled to a respective subset of the antenna radiating elements. In effect, each of the sources provides a virtual time delay. In a specific embodiment, the virtual time delay source includes a direct digital synthesizer and a digital-to-analog converter connected to receive the output thereof. A second mixer is included in each source for mixing the output of the converter with the output of a supplemental signal source. For receive the process is implemented the same way as for transmit for the range of the desired &ldquo;target&rdquo; return. The output of the second mixer is supplied to a respective one of the first mixers. The invention adjusts the phase and frequency of an RF waveform that is spread out in frequency and time such that each frequency arrives at the radiating elements of a phased array antenna with the phase that will steer the antenna beam in the desired direction. The relative signal phase at each radiating element is made to be independent of the signal carrier frequency and thus the antenna beam pointing is made independent of RF carrier frequency.
