Abstract

The present invention is a nodal radar system having a metamaterial-based object detection system. An intelligent antenna metamaterial interface (IAM) associates specific metamaterial unit cells into sub-arrays to adjust the beam width of a transmitted signal. The nodal radar system is positioned on infrastructure to complement sensor information from mobile vehicles and devices within an environment.
