    摘要: A data processing device and method for detecting interference in FMCW radar signals, configured to use an adaptive thresholding technique to identify interference in a plurality of samples forming a beat signal, the adaptive thresholding including grouping the plurality of samples into a plurality of subsets, determining a maximum magnitude of each subset and extracting an nth lowest maximum magnitude of the plurality of subsets to determine an adaptive threshold, and applying the adaptive threshold to each sample to generate a mask.

    摘要: A method and system are provided to resolve Doppler ambiguity and multiple-input, multiple-output array phase compensation issues present in Time Division Multiplexing MIMO radars (100) by estimating an unambiguous radial velocity measurement. Embodiments apply a disambiguation algorithm (180) that dealiases the Doppler spectrum to resolve the Doppler ambiguity of a range-Doppler detection. Phase compensation (180) is then applied for corrected reconstruction of the MIMO array measurements. The dealiasing processing first forms multiple hypotheses associated with the phase corrections for the radar transmitters based on a measured radial velocity of a range-Doppler cell being processed. A correct hypothesis, from the multiple hypotheses, is selected based on a least-spurious spectrum criterion. Using this approach, embodiments require only single-frame processing and can be applied to two or more transmitters (120) in a TDM MIMO radar system (100).

    摘要: A method of this disclosure comprises a step of generating (104) a radar signal in digital domain along at least one transmission path, the radar signal comprises a number of M periodic repetitions of a code sequence with a length Lc, multiplied with a progressive phase rotation

    where Lc and M are integers, K is an integer or a non-integer, and n is a discrete time index corresponding to a code rate. The method further comprises a step of generating (105) a process input signal in digital domain along at least one receiving path from a digitized reflection signal corresponding to the radar signal by multiplying the digitized reflection signal with a progressive phase rotation

    In this context, K is defined such that a ratio

    is a non-integer, and M is defined such that a ratio

    is an integer. Additionally or alternatively, K is defined such that a ratio

    is a non-integer, and M is defined such that a ratio

    is an integer, if the code sequence is a Zadoff code sequence.
