    摘要: A FMCW radar receiver includes a LO providing a chirped LO signal, an in-phase (I) channel for outputting I-data and a quadrature (Q) channel for outputting Q-data. A dynamic correction parameter generator generates IQ phase correction values (P[n]s) and IQ gain correction values (G[n]s) based on a frequency slope rate of the chirped LO signal for generating during intervals of chirps including a first sequence of P[n]s and G[n]s during a first chirp and a second sequence of P[n]s and G[n]s during a second chirp. An IQ mismatch (IQMM) correction circuit has a first IQMM input coupled to receive the I-data and a second IQMM input receiving the Q-data, and the P[n]s and G[n]s. During the first chirp the IQMM correction circuit provides first Q′-data and first I′-data and during the second chirp the IQMM correction circuit provides at least second Q′-data and second I′-data.

    摘要: A FMCW radar system with a built-in self-test (BIST) system for monitoring includes a receiver, a transmitter, and a frequency synthesizer. A FMCW chirp timing engine controls timing of operations at least one radar component. The BIST system includes at least one switchable coupling for coupling a first plurality of different analog signals including from a first plurality of selected nodes in the receiver or transmitter that are all coupled to a second number of monitor analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The second number is less than (

    摘要: A FMCW radar receiver includes a LO providing a chirped LO signal, an in-phase (I) channel for outputting I-data and a quadrature (Q) channel for outputting Q-data. A dynamic correction parameter generator generates IQ phase correction values (P[n]s) and IQ gain correction values (G[n]s) based on a frequency slope rate of the chirped LO signal for generating during intervals of chirps including a first sequence of P[n]s and G[n]s during a first chirp and a second sequence of P[n]s and G[n]s during a second chirp. An IQ mismatch (IQMM) correction circuit has a first IQMM input coupled to receive the I-data and a second IQMM input receiving the Q-data, and the P[n]s and G[n]s. During the first chirp the IQMM correction circuit provides first Q′-data and first I′-data and during the second chirp the IQMM correction circuit provides at least second Q′-data and second I′-data.
