Abstract: A method for calibrating a cascaded radar system includes transmitting first radar transmission signal from a radar device. First radar reflection signals corresponding to the respective first radar transmission signal reflected from calibration target are received at each of the radar devices. The first radar reflection signals are demodulated to generate first baseband signals at each of the radar devices. A second radar transmission signal is modulated with respect to the first radar transmission signal at the respective one of the radar devices. The second radar transmission signal is transmitted from the respective one of the radar devices and are received as second radar reflection signals at each of the radar devices. The second radar reflection signals are demodulated to generate second baseband signals at each of the radar devices, and each of the radar devices are calibrated based on the first and second baseband signals.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to test RADAR integrated circuits. A radar circuit comprising a local oscillator (LO), a transmitter coupled to the LO and configured to be coupled to a transmission network, a receiver configured to be coupled to the transmission network, and a controller coupled to the LO, the transmitter, and the receiver, the controller to cause the LO to generate a frequency modulated continuous waveform (FMCW), cause the transmitter to modulate the FMCW as a modulated FMCW, cause the transmitter to transmit the modulated FMCW via the transmission network and the receiver to obtain a received FMCW from the transmission network, and in response to obtaining the received FMCW from the receiver, generate a performance characteristic of the radar circuit based on the received FMCW.

Abstract: In described examples, a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar system includes an FMCW signal generator, a number N transmitters, N phase shifters, multiple receivers, and a processor. The FMCW signal generator is configured to generate FMCW chirps. Different ones of the phase shifters have different respective base phase shifts selected in response to N. The transmitter is configured to transmit the phase shifted FMCW chirps. The receivers are configured to receive an FMCW chirp reflected by an object in range of the FMCW radar system. The processor is configured to determine a location of the object in range in response to the received FMCW chirp.

Abstract: An example radar device includes an antenna system, a transmitter having an input, and an output coupled to an input of the antenna system, the transmitter having modulation circuitry to provide frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) signals for transmission by the antenna system; a receive signal processing chain; and a digital front-end. The receive signal processing chain includes an input coupled to an output of the antenna system, and is configured to receive radar reflection signals, process the radar reflected signals to generate an intermediate frequency (IF) baseband signal, and digitize the IF baseband signal to generate digital samples of the IF baseband signal. The digital front-end has an input to receive the digital samples of the IF baseband signal and to phase-shift the digital samples in response to a calibration signal.
