Abstract: A device is suggested for processing input data received by several antennas, the device including a processing unit including a buffer and at least one multiplier, wherein the processing unit is configured to calculate a second stage FFT result based on input data received by a first antenna, multiply the second stage FFT result for the first antenna with a first compensation value, and store the result in the buffer. The processing unit is further configured to calculate a second stage FFT result based on input data received by a second antenna, multiply the second stage FFT for the second antenna with a second compensation value, and add the result to the value stored in the buffer.

Abstract: A radar system including a direct memory access (DMA). The DMA includes a bus interface including control/status registers and data-in/data-out registers. The DMA also includes potential object queue memory coupled to the bus interface, and a potential object queue logic coupled to the potential object queue memory. The DMA also includes boundary checking circuitry configured to detect whether any portion of a DMA read configuration is greater than a maximum range bin or less than a minimum range bin. The boundary checking circuitry detects whether any portion of the DMA read configuration is greater than a maximum Doppler bin or less than a minimum Doppler bin.

Abstract: Some aspects of the present disclosure relate a radar system including a radio frequency (RF) receiver that receives radar data on a plurality of receive antennas. A fast Fourier transform (FFT) circuit is coupled to the RF receiver. The FFT circuit performs a FFT on the radar data to provide a plurality of Range-Doppler coordinate pairs that pertain to the plurality of receive antennas. An integration block is coupled to the FFT circuit, and sums multiple Range-Doppler coordinate pairs for respective Doppler bins to provide a plurality of Range-Doppler sums. The integration block also sums multiple Range-Doppler sums within the plurality of Range-Doppler sums to provide an integration result. The multiple Range-Doppler coordinate pairs that are summed are spaced apart from one another by a Doppler offset.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitry are provided for a sorting array. In one example, a sorting array element includes an output register and control circuitry. The output register is configured to store an output value. In response to a cell under test (CUT) load signal the output register stores a CUT value and in response to a first register shift signal from a previous sorting array element the output register stores contents of an output register of the previous sorting array element. The control circuitry is configured to generate the CUT load signal and a second register shift signal for a subsequent sorting array element based on relative magnitudes of the CUT value, the output value, and an output value stored in the output register of the previous sorting array element.
