Claim 0:
1. An object detection system for detecting one or more objects in an environment, wherein the object detection system is configured to communicate with two or more transponders configured to receive one or more probing signals received from the object detection system, wherein the two or more transponders are physically separate from the object detection system while being communicatively coupled thereto through two or more communication links, the object detection system comprising:
a signal processing unit configured to generate one or more baseband signals;
a transmitter unit configured to receive the one or more baseband signals from the signal processing unit, generate the one or more probing signals using the one or more baseband signals, and transmit the one or more probing signals to the two or more transponders; and
a receiver unit configured to receive one or more echo signals associated with the one or more probing signals from the two or more transponders and generate one or more reflected baseband signals from the one or more echo signals,
wherein the signal processing unit is configured to detect the one or more objects based at least in part on the one or more reflected baseband signals and the one or more baseband signals, and
wherein the one or more probing signals comprise the one or more baseband signals, and the two or more transponders are configured to upconvert the one or more baseband signals received through the two or more communication links.
