    Abstract: A circuit for detecting motion of an object in an environment. The circuit comprises a transmission chain, an envelope extraction circuit, and a detector circuit. The transmission chain includes a power amplifier, a sensing circuit, and a single antenna. By the single antenna, a first wireless signal related to a transmission signal is transmitted. The transmission signal is a continuous wave signal. The single antenna can receive a second wireless signal as an incoming signal. The second wireless signal is a reflected first wireless signal from the object. The sensing circuit can obtain a modulation signal by combining the continuous wave signal and the incoming signal. The modulation signal contains a Doppler shift caused by the motion of the object. The envelope extraction circuit can extract a signal envelope from the modulation signal. The detector circuit can determine the motion of the object according to the signal envelope.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides a radar apparatus, a signal processing circuit, and a signal processing method for radar apparatus. The radar apparatus includes a frequency synthesizer, a signal generator, and a transmitting front-end circuit. The frequency synthesizer generates a carrier signal. A frequency of the carrier signal changes with time within a sweep period of the carrier signal, and the carrier signal includes a frequency raising section and a frequency decreasing section. The signal generator generates a shaping signal. The shaping signal includes two sections. The two sections have different amplitudes. One of the two sections corresponds to a turn-around section between the frequency raising section and the frequency decreasing section. The transmitting front-end circuit is coupled to the frequency synthesizer and the signal generator and generates a transmitting signal according to the carrier signal and the shaping signal. In this way, the spurious peak on the spectrum is reduced.
