Abstract: In a radar system, a cancellation circuit is described for compensating for the effects of spillover between each transmitter and a receiver. The cancellation circuit is configured for applying cancellation signals to the receiver which are generated in a cancellation filter utilizing a primary impulse response characteristic corresponding to the spillover, a signal to be transmitted from each transmitter in the radar system, and a range profile output from the receiver. The cancellation circuit may also include a secondary impulse response characteristic module and a dithering module to improve the sensitivity of the receiver.

Abstract: A method of radar ranging comprises transmitting a digitally-modulated signal comprising successively in time, for each sequence in a plurality N of sequences, a plurality M+1 of repeats of said sequence, wherein each said sequence consists of a plurality Lc of digitally-modulated chips, wherein at least one sequence in the plurality of sequences is different from another sequence in said plurality of sequences; receiving a version of the digitally-modulated signal reflected scattered by one or more physical targets; for each sequence in the plurality of sequences, performing a preliminary target estimation; and using each said preliminary target estimation for all sequences in the plurality of sequences, performing a final target estimation.

Abstract: A method for facilitating robust radar detection comprises generating a radar signal in a digital domain along at least one transmission path, the radar signal comprises a number of M periodic repetitions of a code sequence with a length Lc, multiplied with a progressive phase rotation ej·π/K·n, where Lc and M are integers, K is an integer or a non-integer, and n is a discrete time index corresponding to a code rate. The method further comprises generating a process input signal in the digital domain along at least one receiving path from a digitized reflection signal corresponding to the radar signal by multiplying the digitized reflection signal with a progressive phase rotation e−j·π/K·n. In this context, K is defined such that a ratio Lc/2·K is a non-integer, and M is defined such that a ratio Lc·M/2·K is an integer.
