摘要: An apparatus comprises processor cores and computer-readable mediums storing machine instructions for the processor cores. When executing the machine instructions, the processor cores obtain received signals for transmitted chirps from a radar sensor circuit. Each transmitted chirp comprises an A chirp segment, a time gap, and a B chirp segment, respectively. The processor cores sample the received signals to obtain sampled data matrices M1(A) for the A chirp segments and M1(B) for the B chirp segments. The processor cores perform a first Fourier transform (FT) on each column of M1(A) and M1(B) to obtain velocity matrices M2(A) and M2(B), respectively. The processor cores apply a phase compensation factor to M2(B) to obtain a phase corrected velocity matrix M2(B′), and concatenate M2(A) and M2(B′) to obtain an aggregate velocity matrix M2(A&B′). The processor cores perform a second FT on each row of M2(A&B′) to obtain a range and velocity matrix M3(A&B′).

摘要: A noise-mitigated continuous-wave frequency-modulated radar includes, for example, a transmitter for generating a radar signal, a receiver for receiving a reflected radar signal and comprising a mixer for generating a baseband signal in response to the received radar signal and in response to a local oscillator (LO) signal, and a signal shifter coupled to at least one of the transmitter, LO input of the mixer in the receiver and the baseband signal generated by the mixer. The impact of amplitude noise or phase noise associated with interferers, namely, for example, strong reflections from nearby objects, and electromagnetic coupling from transmit antenna to receive antenna, on the detection of other surrounding objects is reduced by configuring the signal shifter in response to an interferer frequency and phase offset.
