Ultrasound Mimicking Radar, Single Antenna Rangefinder.
Abstract: A
single antenna short-range radar transceiver emits 24GHz RF sinewave
packets and samples echoes with strobed timing such that the illusion
of wave propagation at the speed of sound is observed, thereby forming
an ultrasound mimicking radar.
Applications
include automotive backup and collision warning, precision radar rangefinding
for fluid level sensing and robotics, precision radiolocation, wideband
communications and time-resolved holographic imaging.
