Title: Signal processing system for pulse doppler radar
Inventor: STOVE ANDREW
IPC: G01S7/292
Filed: 2007-07-23
Abstract: A signal processing system is provided for a pulse Doppler radar. The system is arranged to receive frequency domain signals for each of a plurality of Doppler bins for each range cell and comprises a data processor arranged successively to threshold each Doppler bin signal under test relative to a local average of signals formed over plural Doppler bins and/or plural ranges adjacent to the Doppler bin under test by using a variable thresholding factor and using the thresholding result as an indication of the presence of an object of interest. The data processor uses a pulse Doppler constant false alarm rate (CFAR) control process to set and reset the variable thresholding factor. A closed loop feedback arrangement counts the indications of presence and increments or decrements the variable thresholding factor for each thresholding result by comparing the frequency of these counts with a predetermined probability of a false alarm. The constant false alarm rate thresholding is a function of the range and the Doppler frequency of the range Doppler bin signal under test.

Abstract: 1,102,083. Earth-moving bowl type scrapers. CATERPILLAR TRACTOR CO. 8, March, 1966, No. 10036/66. Heading E1F. Gravity discharge of the contents of the bowl. of a bowl type scraper is controlled by the degree of powered pivotal movement of a plate thancan close off the bottom of the bowl about an axis on which arms secured to the sides of the plate are mounted on the side walls of the bowl. The rear wall of the bowl is such that the centre of curvature thereof coincides with said axis so that the wall is scraped clean by the plate as it is pivoted about the axis. A striker bar for grading of the discharged contents of the bowl is provided at the leading edge of the plate, the bar having cam track followers co-operating with cam tracks on the sides of the bowl so as to maintain the 'bar at a constant level for all positions of the plate. The ram means actuating the plate can, when so required, cause the plate to move beyond a position occupied for maximum discharge of the bowl to jar against the bowl to shake the contents therefrom. The hydraulic circuit of the rams involves means, that can be manually overridden, to signal to an operator when the plate passes the position for maximum discharge. The signal involves imparting a movement that can be felt by the operator to the manual control of the ram.
