Abstract: System and method of controlling operation of a device in real-time. The system includes an optical sensor having a steerable optical field of view for obtaining image data and a radar unit having a steerable radar field of view for obtaining radar data. A controller may be configured to steer a first one of the optical sensor and the radar unit to a first region of interest and a second one of the optical sensor and the radar unit to the second region of interest. The controller may be configured to steer both the optical sensor and the radar unit to the first region of interest. The radar data and the image data are fused to obtain a target location and a target velocity. The controller is configured to control operation of the device based in part on at least one of the target location and the target velocity.

Abstract: A vehicle radar system and calibration method that provide for system calibration so that target object parameters can be calculated with improved accuracy. Generally speaking, the calibration method uses a number of hypothesized calibration matrices, which represent educated guesses for possible system or array calibrations, to obtain a number of beamforming images. A blurring metric is then derived for each beamforming image, where the blurring metric is generally representative of the quality or resolution of the beamforming image. The method then selects hypothesized calibration matrices based on their blurring metrics, where the selected matrices are associated with the blurring metrics having the best beamforming image resolution (e.g., the least amount of image blurriness). The selected hypothesized calibration matrices are then used to generate new calibration matrices, which in turn can be used to calibrate the vehicle radar system so that more accurate target object parameters can be obtained.

Abstract: An active quadrature generation circuit configured to provide an in-phase output signal and a quadrature output signal based on an input signal and a method of fabricating the active quadrature generation circuit on an integrated circuit are described. The circuit includes an input node to receive the input signal and a first transistor including a collector connected to a power supply pin. The circuit also includes a second transistor including a base connected to the power supply pin, the second transistor differing in size from the first transistor by a factor of K, wherein the in-phase output signal and the quadrature output signal are generated based on an inherent phase difference of 90 degrees between a current at a collector of the first transistor and a current at a base of the second transistor.

Abstract: A radar system and method of extending a parameter of a location of a target obtained by radar is disclosed. The system receives an echo signal that is a reflection of a radar source signal from the target. The echo signal is sampled and a peak for the echo signal is objected in frequency space. For a peak that is located at a frequency greater than a Nyquist frequency of the echo signal, the peak is moved to a negative domain of the frequency space and the location of the target is determined using the peak in the negative domain.

Abstract: A system and method to detect an object with a radar system involve transmitting two or more sets of linear frequency modulated signals with a gap duration Dg, during which there is no transmission, between each of the two or more sets of the linear frequency modulated signals. Each of the two or more sets of the linear frequency modulated signals defines a sub-frame, and two or more sub-frames defines a frame. The method includes receiving reflections resulting from the linear frequency modulated signals encountering one or more objects in a field of view of the radar system, and processing the reflections to identify the one or more objects. The processing includes performing an on-off Radon transform to correct a phase bias caused by the gap duration during which there is no transmission.

Abstract: A system and method to perform multi-target detection in a code division multiple access (CDMA) radar system involve transmitting, from each transmitter among T transmitters, a transmitted signal with a different code, and receiving, at each receiver among one or more receivers, a received signal that includes reflections resulting from each of the transmitted signals with the different codes. The method includes processing the received signal at each of the one or more receivers by implementing T processing chains. Each of the T processing chains is iterative. The method also includes detecting an object at each completed iteration at each of the T processing chains, and subtracting a subtraction signal representing a contribution of the object to the received signal prior to subsequent iterations.

Abstract: A system and method to perform two-stage beamforming in a radar system includes obtaining an incoming signal vector x associated with a detected target. The method also includes performing coarse beamforming with a first set of k1 azimuthal angle θi and elevation angle φi combinations associated with each element of the vector, and selecting a selected area in an azimuth-elevation plane around a subset of the k1 azimuthal angle θi and elevation angle φi combinations for each element of the vector. Fine beamforming is performed in the selected area with a second set of k2 azimuthal angle θi and elevation angle φi combinations associated with each element of the vector. The second set of k2 azimuthal angle θi and elevation angle φi combinations is more closely spaced in the azimuth-elevation plane than the first set of k1 azimuthal angle θi and elevation angle φi combinations.

Abstract: A vehicle, radar system for the vehicle and method for detecting an object. The radar system includes a transmitter for transmitting a source signal and a receiver for receiving a reflection of the source signal from an object. A processor obtains a radar parameter of the object from the received reflection, adjusts an operating parameter of the radar based on the radar parameter to provide an altered source signal, and detects the object based on a reflection of the altered source signal.
