    Abstract: The disclosure provides a radar apparatus for estimating a range of an obstacle. The radar apparatus includes a local oscillator that generates a first ramp segment and a second ramp segment. The first ramp segment and the second ramp segment each includes a start frequency, a first frequency and a second frequency. The first frequency of the second ramp segment is equal to or greater than the second frequency of the first ramp segment when a slope of the first ramp segment and a slope of the second ramp segment are equal and positive. The first frequency of the second ramp segment is equal to or less than the second frequency of the first ramp segment when the slope of the first ramp segment and the slope of the second ramp segment are equal and negative.

    Abstract: A radar apparatus for estimating position of a plurality of obstacles. The radar apparatus includes a receive antenna unit. The receive antenna unit includes a linear array of antennas and an additional antenna at a predefined offset from at least one antenna in the linear array of antennas. The radar apparatus also includes a signal processing unit. The signal processing unit estimates an azimuth frequency associated with each obstacle of the plurality of obstacles from a signal received from the plurality of obstacles at the linear array of antennas. In addition, the signal processing unit estimates an azimuth angle and an elevation angle associated with each obstacle from the estimated azimuth frequency associated with each obstacle.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method for detecting false peaks in a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) having a power control circuit, a measurement engine, and position engine. An estimated pseudorange is filtered over time. A false peak is declared if the filtered pseudorange error is greater than a threshold.

    Abstract: A vehicle navigation system includes a GNSS position engine (GPE) that uses GNSS satellite measurements to compute a first position and velocity of a vehicle and a first quality metric associated with the position and velocity. The system also includes a dead reckoning engine (DRE) that operates parallel with the GPE that computes a second position and velocity and a second quality metric associated with the dead reckoning. The GPE is configured to use the second position and velocity to detect a set of outliers in an incoming GNSS measurement; use the second position and velocity as an initial estimate of its position and velocity for a particular time instant, which is then refined by GNSS measurements received at that particular time instant; and to replace the first position and velocity with the second position and velocity.

    Abstract: A non-transitory device-readable medium, which may be embodied in a device, such as a radar receiver, stores instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, are configured to perform operations to identify a region of interference. An analog signal is generated based on received signals reflected from a target object and an interfering object. The analog signal is converted to an initial time-domain data set. Processing circuitry is configured or instructed to perform a transform operation on the initial time-domain data set to generate a frequency-domain data set, based on which a region of interference may be identified. Subsequent operations may be performed to facilitate identification of the region of interest including thresholding, inverse transforming, subtracting, and/or combining. The processing circuitry may be further configured or instructed to generate repaired time-domain data from which corrupted time-domain samples to remove data associated with the interfering object.
