| 1996 | Invention patented by I. Shaun Carnes and Dean L. Shollenberger on December 17th, 1996. Abstract: A CW radar range measuring system having a transmitter adapted to transmit a continuous wave radar signal phase encoded in accordance with a code and a receiver adapted to receive a radar return from the transmitted radar signal. The receiver includes an analog to digital converter section for converting a sequence of samples of the radar return into a corresponding sequence of digital words. A digital correlator/integrator is fed by the digital words and the code for providing an indication of radar return energy as a function of range from the transmitter. A processor is fed by the digital correlator/integrator for determining, from the indicated energy, target range. The system includes a frequency spectrum analyzer for determining a frequency spectrum of the digital words and wherein the processor determines the target Doppler frequency from such determined frequency spectrum. In one embodiment of the invention, the digital correlator/integrator is fed the digital words and the frequency analyzer is coupled between the digital correlator/integrator and the processor. In another embodiment of the invention the frequency analyzer is fed the digital words and the digital correlator/integrator is coupled between the frequency analyzer and the processor. |
