    Abstract: A device includes a circuit board having thereon, a controlling component, a first radar chip and a second radar chip. The first radar chip includes a first radar transmission antenna, a second radar transmission antenna and a first radar receiver antenna array. The second radar chip includes a second radar receiver antenna array. The controlling component can control the first radar chip and the second radar chip. The first radar transmission antenna can transmit a first radar transmission signal. The second radar transmission antenna can transmit a second radar transmission signal. The second radar chip is spaced from the first radar chip so as to create a virtual receiver antenna array between the first radar receiver antenna array and the second radar receiver antenna array.

    Abstract: Disclosed examples include a radar system that operates in a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, the system detects the presence of an object within a threshold range. In response to detection of the presence of the object, the system transitions to the second mode, and the system generates range data, velocity data, and angle data of the object in the second mode. When the object is no longer detected within the threshold range, the system transitions back to the first mode.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides a radar apparatus. The radar apparatus includes a transmitter that transmits a first chirp. The first chirp is scattered by one or more obstacles to generate a first plurality of scattered signals. A plurality of receivers receives the first plurality of scattered signals. Each receiver of the plurality of receivers generates a digital signal in response to a scattered signal of the first plurality of scattered signals. A processor is coupled to the plurality of receivers and receives the digital signals from the plurality of receivers. The processor performs range FFT (fast fourier transform) and angle FFT on the digital signals received from the plurality of receivers to generate a first matrix of complex samples.

    Abstract: A method of estimating position of an obstacle of a plurality of obstacles with a radar apparatus. An azimuth frequency, an elevation frequency and a range of the obstacle are estimated to generate an estimated azimuth frequency, an estimated elevation frequency and an estimated range of the obstacle. A metric is estimated from one or more of the estimated azimuth frequency, the estimated elevation frequency and the estimated range of the obstacle. The metric is compared to a threshold to detect an error in at least one of the estimated azimuth frequency and the estimated elevation frequency. On error detection, a sign of at least one of the estimated azimuth frequency and the estimated elevation frequency is inverted to generate a true estimated azimuth frequency and a true estimated elevation frequency respectively.

    Abstract: A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver determines a measurement error covariance from a reference position and a set of measured pseudoranges from a set of GNSS satellites. The position and velocity solution is determined from the measurement error covariance and the set of measured pseudoranges. The measurement error covariance is determined as function of the difference between a reference pseudorange and measured pseudorange. The reference pseudorange is computed from the reference position to a satellite. The measurement error covariance is determined as function of the difference only if the measured pseudorange is greater than the reference pseudorange. The GNSS receiver also determines measurement error covariance as function of one or more of correlation peak shape, difference, the correlation peak shape, a received signal to noise ratio and a tracking loop error.
