Patent ID: 6906665

Claim:
A method for detecting a plurality of objects, the method comprising: steering a first beam-forming system to a first direction, the first direction associated with a first object; steering a second beam-forming system to a second direction; the second direction associated with a second object; receiving a first plurality of signals from at least the first object and the second object at the first beam-forming system; receiving a second plurality of signals from at least the first object and the second object at the second beam-forming system; processing the first plurality of received signals; processing the second plurality of received signals; generating a first combined signal based on at least information associated with the first plurality of received signals; generating a second combined signal based on at least information associated with the second plurality of received signals; dividing the first combined signal into at least a first divided signal and a second divided signal; dividing the second combined signal into at least a third divided signal and a fourth divided signal; processing at least the first divided signal, the second divided signal, the third divided signal, and the fourth divided signal; generating a first output signal based on at least information associated the first divided signal and the third divided signal; generating a second output signal based on at least information associated with the second divided signal and the fourth divided signal; wherein the first output signal is associated with the first object; the second output signal is associated with the second object.
