    Abstract: In accordance with described examples, a method determines if a velocity of an object detected by a radar is greater than a maximum velocity by receiving on a plurality of receivers at least one frame of chirps transmitted by at least two transmitters and reflected off of the object. A velocity induced phase shift (φd) in a virtual array vector S of signals received by each receiver corresponding to a sequence of chirps (frame) transmitted by each transmitter is estimated. Phases of each element of virtual array vector S are corrected using φd to generate a corrected virtual array vector Sc. A first Fourier transform is performed on the corrected virtual array vector Sc to generate a corrected virtual array spectrum to detect a signature that indicates that the object has an absolute velocity greater than a maximum velocity.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides a GNSS receiver. The GNSS receiver a measurement engine that generates a set of doppler measurements and a set of pseudo ranges in response to an input signal. A clock frequency drift estimation (CFDE) block receives the set of doppler measurements, and generates an averaged delta doppler. A position estimation engine estimates a position and velocity of a user based on the set of doppler measurements, the set of pseudo ranges and the averaged delta doppler.

    Abstract: A radar hardware accelerator (HWA) includes a fast Fourier transform (FFT) engine including a pre-processing block for providing interference mitigation and/or multiplying a radar data sample stream received from ADC buffers within a split accelerator local memory that also includes output buffers by a pre-programmed complex scalar or a specified sample from an internal look-up table (LUT) to generate pre-processed samples. A windowing plus FFT block (windowed FFT block) is for multiply the pre-processed samples by a window vector and then processing by an FFT block for performing a FFT to generate Fourier transformed samples. A post-processing block is for computing a magnitude of the Fourier transformed samples and performing a data compression operation for generating post-processed radar data. The pre-processing block, windowed FFT block and post-processing block are connected in one streaming series data path.

    Abstract: A disclosed method includes computing, for each of a plurality of values of at least one type of error parameter, a distance traveled for each of a plurality of directions of travel. The method includes selecting, from the plurality of values of the at least one type of error parameter, a value that provides a greatest distance traveled for any of the plurality of directions of travel relative to the unselected ones of the plurality of values. The method further includes applying the selected value of the at least one type of error parameter to gyroscopic sensor data, and then determining navigation information based on the gyroscopic sensor data with the selected value of the at least one type of error parameter applied.

    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: A radar transceiver includes a phase shifter that is controlled to apply an induced phase shift in a first subset of chirp signals of a frame of chirp signals, which also includes a second subset of chirp signals in which no phase shift is applied. Other circuitry generates digital signals based on received reflected signals, which are based on transmitted signals. Processing circuitry performs a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on a first subset of digital signals, corresponding to the first subset of chirp signals, to generate a first range-Doppler array, and performs a FFT on the second subset of digital signals, corresponding to the second subset of chirp signals, to generate a second range-Doppler array; identifies peaks in the first and second range-Doppler arrays to detect an object; and compares a phases of peaks at corresponding positions in the first and second range-Doppler arrays to determine a measured phase shift between the two peaks.
