Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores machine instructions that cause a processor to obtain a range-sample-antenna data cube for a received radar signal comprising reflections of a plurality of interleaved chirp sequences. The processor generates, for each chirp sequence, a Hankel matrix based on subset of range bins for the particular chirp sequence, and generates a block Hankel matrix based on the Hankel matrices for the plurality of interleaved chirp sequences. The processor performs truncated singular value decomposition to estimate subspaces, and object detection to identify selection matrices. The processor calculates least-squares approximations for the selection matrices and the block Hankel matrix to obtain, for each chirp sequence, a first phase shift matrix θ11 and a second set of phase shift matrices θ1l, l=2, . . . , L. The processor performs joint diagonalization and Doppler division multiplexing compensation on θ11 and θ1l, l=2, . . . , L, then resolves ambiguities in determined velocities based on comparison of θ11 and θ1l, l=2, . . . , L.

Abstract: A method includes producing, at a radar sensor, a plurality of radar data points based on radar signal reflections received at the radar sensor. The method further includes, for one or more respective radar data points of the plurality of radar data points, calculating at the radar sensor a data item indicative of a measurement accuracy corresponding to the respective radar data point. The radar sensor then transmits the plurality of radar data points and the data item for each respective radar data point to a central radar processor. The data item is used to update a covariance matrix implemented by a Kalman filter at the central radar processor during the object tracking process.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure may involve use of a radio frequency receiver and in such a receiver, tracking multipath gains and delays of multipath reflections corresponding to an OFDM multipath transmission channel. The gains and delays are based on time-domain evolution of the channel impulse response. Multipath reflections are searched for and then used to calculate channel correlation information to provide channel estimations to aid in mitigating or cancelling distortion of the received signal.

Abstract: Interference cancellation is provided, according to certain aspects, by a filter, a signal detection circuit, synthesis circuitry and signal-generation circuitry. The filter is used to filter an incoming signal having an associated signal-to-noise metric and to output therefrom a filtered signal having an interference attribute of the incoming signal by amplification and/or isolation. The signal detection circuit is used to detect the interference attribute in the filtered signal. The synthesis circuitry is used to synthesize interference in the incoming signal based on the interference attribute. The signal-generation circuitry is used to generate, in response to the synthesized interference in the incoming signal, a filtered version of the incoming signal which provides an improved signal-to-noise metric.
