    Abstract: An example apparatus, method, and computer program product for reducing power consumption while maintaining a high accuracy in a sensing device is provided. The example apparatus may include a microcontroller and a sensing device electrically connected to the microcontroller. In an instance in which the microcontroller is enabled, the microcontroller may enable the sensing device and enter a low-power mode for a pre-determined sensor wait time. The microcontroller may further be configured to, upon expiration of the pre-determined sensor wait time, receive electrical data from the sensing device. Further, upon receipt of the electrical data, the microcontroller may disable power to the sensing device. In some embodiments, the apparatus may include a switch electrically connected between the sensing device and a power source, wherein the microcontroller is configured to send an electrical signal to the switch to control an input power to the sensing device.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring a relative velocity between a radar sensor and a radar reflector by a controller component are provided. The method includes but is not limited to: causing the radar sensor to transmit a first chirp signal and a second chirp signal toward the radar reflector, where a duration of the first chirp signal is different from a duration of the second chirp signal; causing the radar sensor to receive a first reflected chirp signal of the first chirp signal and a second reflected chirp signal of the second chirp signal; determining a first velocity based on the first chirp signal and the first reflected chirp signal; determining a second velocity based on the second chirp signal and the second reflected chirp signal; and determining the relative velocity between the radar sensor and the radar reflector by comparing the first velocity and the second velocity.
