    摘要: A radar device includes a radar reception circuit configured to provide an analog radar signal by means of a radio frequency (RF) radar signal received by an antenna being downconverted into a baseband frequency. The radar reception circuit further includes an analog-to-digital converter, to which the analog radar signal is fed and which is configured to digitize said analog radar signal and to provide it as a digital radar signal, and also a digital multiplier configured to multiply the digital radar signal by a digital window signal, as a result of which a windowed radar signal is provided. A window generator is configured to calculate the digital window signal by evaluating one or more polynomials. The radar device further includes a processor configured to further process a plurality of signal blocks of the windowed radar signal, signal block by signal block.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a concept for calibrating an IQ modulator. A calibration method comprises setting one or more control values of the IQ modulator corresponding to a desired constellation point of a constellation diagram to generate an IQ modulating signal; mixing the IQ modulating signal with a carrier signal to generate an IQ modulated transmit signal; transmitting the IQ modulated transmit signal towards a predefined object at a predefined location; receiving a reflection of the IQ modulated transmit signal from the predefined object; mixing the received reflection of the IQ modulated transmit signal with the carrier signal to generate a down-converted receive signal; comparing amplitude and/or phase of the down-converted receive signal with the desired constellation point of the constellation diagram; and adjusting the one or more control values of the IQ modulator until a deviation between the amplitude and/or phase of the received down-converted signal and the desired constellation point falls below a predefined threshold.

    摘要: A method for processing radar signals includes emitting a first radar signal via a transmitting antenna of a first radar unit, where the first radar signal is phase modulated using a first code and a first frequency offset is added to at least a portion of the first radar signal, and emitting a second radar signal via a transmitting antenna of a second radar unit, where the second radar signal is phase modulated using a second code. The first code and the second code are orthogonal to each other and the first radar unit and the second radar unit are loosely coupled with each other. The method further includes receiving a combined radar signal via a receiving antenna of the first radar unit, where the combined radar signal comprises a reflections of the first and the second radar signals, and processing the combined radar signal at the first radar unit.
