| 发明名称 | Antenna blockage detection | ||
| 摘要 | A system includes an antenna having a substrate and a plurality of antenna elements disposed on the substrate. A processing device is configured to measure an aperture function across an aperture of the antenna and determine whether at least one of the antenna elements is blocked based at least in part on the measured aperture function. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A system comprising: an antenna having a substrate and a plurality of antenna elements disposed on the substrate; a processing device programmed to measure an aperture function across an aperture of the antenna, the aperture function including velocity data, angular offset data, and range data arranged in a data cube, and determine whether at least one of the antenna elements is blocked based at least in part on the measured aperture function based at least in part on a Fourier Transform technique to the data in the data cube. | ||
