Patent ID: 8803730

Claim:
A method for radar pulse detection using a digital radar receiver, the method comprising: inputting at least one radar signal into a mixer; mixing the at least one radar signal with a mixing signal to downconvert the at least one radar signal; applying anti-aliasing filtering to at least one downconverted signal that is outputted from the mixer; inputting at least one filtered signal into an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter to convert the at least one filtered signal from an analog signal to a digital signal; applying digital channelization to at least one digital signal that is outputted from the A/D converter to sort the at least one digital signal into different frequency bands; applying radar pulse detection in the time domain to the at least one sorted digital signal to detect the radar pulses from noise; and applying parameter estimation to the detected radar pulses to estimate parameters of the detected radar pulses.
