Abstract

A compact range for testing antennas or radar targets includes a source for directing energy along a feedline toward a parabolic reflector. The reflected wave is a spherical wave with a radius dependent on the distance of the source from the focal point of the reflector.

Achromatic recirculated chicane with fixed geometry and independently variable path length and momentum compaction

Patent Douglas, David R.; Neil, George R.

A particle beam recirculated chicane geometry that, through the inducement of a pair of 180 degree bends directed by the poles of a pair of controllable magnetic fields allows for variation of dipole position, return loop radii and steering/focussing, thereby allowing the implementation of independent variation of path length and momentum compaction.

Variable power distribution for zoned regeneration of an electrically heated particulate filter

Patent Bhatia, Garima [Bangalore, IN]; Gonze, Eugene V [Pinckney, MI]

A system includes a particulate matter (PM) filter with multiple zones, an electric heater and a control module. The electrical heater includes heater segments, which each correspond with a respective one of the zones. The electrical heater is arranged upstream from and is proximate with the PM filter. The control module selectively applies a first energy level to a first one of the zones via a first one of the heater segments to initiate regeneration in the first zone. The control module also selectively applies a second energy level that is less than the first energy level to a secondmore » « less

Decreasing range resolution of a SAR image to permit correction of motion measurement errors beyond the SAR range resolution

Patent Doerry, Armin W [Albuquerque, NM]; Heard, Freddie E [Albuquerque, NM]; Cordaro, J Thomas [Albuquerque, NM]

Motion measurement errors that extend beyond the range resolution of a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can be corrected by effectively decreasing the range resolution of the SAR in order to permit measurement of the error. Range profiles can be compared across the slow-time dimension of the input data in order to estimate the error. Once the error has been determined, appropriate frequency and phase correction can be applied to the uncompressed input data, after which range and azimuth compression can be performed to produce a desired SAR image.
