    Abstract: An apparatus, including processing unit (PU) cores and computer readable storage devices storing machine instructions for determining a distance between a target object and a radar sensor circuit. The PU cores receive a beat signal generated by the radar sensor circuit and compensate for a phase difference between the received beat signal and a reconstruction of the received beat signal to obtain a phase compensated beat signal. The phase compensated beat signal is then filtered to remove spurious reflections by demodulating the phase compensated beat signal using an estimated frequency of the phase compensated beat signal. The PU cores then apply a low pass filter to the demodulated phase compensated beat signal, resulting in a modified beat signal. The PU cores then determine the distance between the target object and the radar sensor circuit using the modified beat signal.

    Abstract: This invention is present an iterative method for joint antenna array calibration and direction of arrival estimation using millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) radar. The calibration compensates for array coupling, phase, and gain errors and does not require any training data. This method is well suited for applications where multiple antenna elements are packaged in a chip and where offline calibration is either expensive or is not possible. This invention is also effective when the array coupling is a function of direction of arriving waves from the object. It is also applicable to any two-dimensional array shape. Real experiment results demonstrate the viability of the algorithm using real data collected from a four-element array.

    Abstract: An FMCW radar is used to detect live objects by processing the matched, filtered radar return on a frame by frame basis. An FFT cross correlation coefficient is computed, followed by computing a modified geometric mean of the absolute value of the cross correlation coefficients. The modified geometric mean is then compared to a preset threshold to determine whether the object is moving or is stationary.
