Patent ID: 7151483

Claim:
A waveform generator for a radar system, the waveform generator being adapted to allow the radar system to operate concurrently on a common frequency with at least one other radar system, the waveform generator comprising: a. a radar parameter unit including: i) an operating parameters module for generating operating parameters for radar pulses that are transmitted by the radar system; and, ii) a carrier frequency parameter module connected to the operating parameters module for generating a carrier frequency at which the radar pulses are transmitted, the carrier frequency including a carrier frequency offset with respect to carrier frequencies used by the at least one other radar system; b. a signal generator connected to the radar parameter unit for generating the radar pulses in accordance with the operating parameters; and, c. a timing unit connected to the signal generator for supplying a pulse trigger signal to the signal generator for generating the radar pulses such that the radar system is synchronized with the at least one other radar system.
