In an embodiment, a method for air-writing character recognition includes: determining a position of an object in a monitoring space using trilateration by using a plurality of millimeter-wave radars, where each millimeter-wave radar of the plurality of millimeter-wave radars has a field of view, and where an intersection of the fields of view of the plurality of millimeter-wave radars forms the monitoring space; tracking the position of the object in the monitoring space over time using the plurality of millimeter-wave radars; determining a character symbol depicted by the tracked position of the object over time using a neural network (NN); and providing a signal based on the determined character symbol.
