Methods and apparatus are provided for radar systems using multiple pulses that are shorter than the expected range delay extent of the target to be imaged. In one implementation, a method for performing radar includes the steps of: transmitting a plurality of pulses (2502) each pulse having a , different center frequency and a time duration shorter than an expected range delay extent of a target, wherein a total bandwidth is defined by a bandwidth occupied by the plurality of pulses; receiving reflections of the plurality of pulses (2504); and performing pulse compression on the received pulse reflections to generate a detection signal (2506) having a radar resolution approximately …

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 21, 2004 and granted April 10, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 21, 2024.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 21, 2026.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
