Abstract: In one example, a radar circuit uses computer processing circuitry for processing data corresponding to reflection signals via a sparse array. Output data indicative of signal magnitude associated with the reflection signals is generated, and then angle-of-arrival information is discerned therefrom by (e.g., iteratively): correlating the output data with at least one spatial frequency support vector indicative of a correlation peak for the output data; generating upper-side and lower-side support vectors which are neighbors along the spatial frequency spectrum for said at least one spatial frequency support vector, and providing, via a correlation of the upper-side and lower-side support vectors and said at least one spatial frequency support vector, at least one new vector that is more refined along the spatial frequency spectrum for said at least one spatial frequency support vector.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to radar signal processing apparatuses and methods. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, digital signals representative of received reflections of radar signals transmitted towards a target are mathematically processed to provide or construct a matrix pencil based on or as a function of a forward-backward matrix. Eigenvalues of the matrix pencil are computed and an estimation of the direction of arrival (DoA) of the target is output based on the computed eigenvalues.

Abstract: Described are method and systems that implement time frequency domain threshold interference and localization fusion to resolve interference issues in an automotive radar system, that produces spectrograms using Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) for all receiving antennas of the automotive radar system. For each STFT frequency a suppression threshold is determined. Interference is isolated for each STFT frequency by removing the interference from samples that are above the suppression threshold by using a filter. Direction of Arrival (DoA) is estimated for each interference spectrogram cell using measurements from all the receiving antennas. Interference samples are clustered using the DoA into epochs of chirps.

Abstract: Exemplary aspects are directed to a radar-based detection circuit or system with signal reception circuitry to receive reflection signals in response to radar signals transmitted towards objects. The system may include logic/computer circuitry and a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) virtual array to enhance resolution or remove ambiguities otherwise present in processed reflection signals. The MIMO array may include sparse linear arrays, each being associated with a unique antenna-element spacing from among a set of unique co-prime antenna-element spacings.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to implementations involving the transmission of radar signals and the processing of reflections of those signals as received from a target. As may be implemented with one or more embodiments, a spectrogram may be produced by converting reflections, of transmitted radar signals from a target, into a time-frequency domain using a time-frequency analysis. One or more suppression thresholds is determined for at least one frequency signal in the spectrogram, based on frequency characteristics of the converted reflections. A range response is constructed, characterizing the target and having interference signals removed in the time-frequency domain, by converting (into the range response) selected ones of the frequency signals in the spectrogram having a magnitude within the suppression threshold.

Abstract: A system includes a video generation circuit (102) to generate first graphics information, a display circuit (112) to display the graphics information, and a low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) (120) video interface to couple graphics information from the video generation circuit to the display circuit. The display circuit can determine that a first channel (204) of the LVDS video interface is corrupted. In response, the display circuit provides a remediation signal (205) to direct the video generation circuit (102) to operate in an alternative operating mode (208).

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to apparatuses, systems and methods for radar processing. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more aspects herein, an apparatus may include receiver circuitry to receive and sample radar signals reflected from a target, and processing circuitry to carry out the following. Representations of the reflections are transformed into the time-frequency domain where they are oversampled. The oversampled representations of the reflections are inversely transformed to provide resampled reflections. Positional characteristics of the target may then be ascertained by constructing a range response characterizing the target based on the resampled reflections.
