Abstract: The disclosure provides a radar apparatus for estimating a range of an obstacle. The radar apparatus includes a local oscillator that generates a first ramp segment and a second ramp segment. The first ramp segment and the second ramp segment each includes a start frequency, a first frequency and a second frequency. The first frequency of the second ramp segment is equal to or greater than the second frequency of the first ramp segment when a slope of the first ramp segment and a slope of the second ramp segment are equal and positive. The first frequency of the second ramp segment is equal to or less than the second frequency of the first ramp segment when the slope of the first ramp segment and the slope of the second ramp segment are equal and negative.

Abstract: A multi-mode radar system, radar signal processing methods and configuration methods, including using predetermined, range/mode-specific pushing windows to perform windowing on range and velocity object data before performing an FFT on the windowed object data matrix to generate a three-dimensional object matrix including range, velocity and angle data. The individual windows have an angular spectral response that corresponds to a combined angular coverage field of view of the transmit and receive antennas for the corresponding mode to minimize the total weighted energy outside the main lobe and to provide increasing spectral leakage outside the combined angular coverage field of view with angular offset from the main lobe to push out much of the spectral leakage into regions where leakage tolerance is high due to the corresponding combined angular coverage field of view of the transmit and receive antennas.

Abstract: A method for gesture recognition includes receiving, by a processor, a first digital intermediate frequency (IF) signal stream from a first receive antenna and receiving, by the processor, a second digital IF signal stream from a second receive antenna. The method also includes computing, by the processor, a weighted Doppler metric stream based on the first digital IF signal stream and the second digital IF signal stream and computing, by the processor, an angle metric stream based on the first digital IF signal stream and the second digital IF signal stream. Additionally, the method includes computing, by the processor, a correlation between the weighted Doppler metric stream and the angle metric stream, to generate a first correlation and recognizing, by the processor, a gesture, based on the first correlation.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a radar apparatus. The radar apparatus includes a transmit unit that generates a first signal in response to a reference clock and a feedback clock. The first signal is scattered by one or more obstacles to generate a second signal. A receive unit receives the second signal and generates N samples corresponding to the second signal. N is an integer. A conditioning circuit is coupled to the transmit unit and the receive unit. The conditioning circuit receives the N samples corresponding to the second signal, and generates N new samples using an error between the feedback clock and the reference clock.

Abstract: A method of operating a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar system includes receiving, by at least one processor, digital intermediate frequency (IF) signals from a mixer coupled to a receive antenna. The method also includes computing, by the at least one processor, a motion metric based on the digital IF signals; operating, by the at least one processor, the FMCW radar system in a classification mode, in response to determining that the motion metric is above a threshold; and operating, by the at least one processor, the FMCW radar system in a detection mode, in response to determining that the motion metric is below the threshold for at least a first amount of time. An amount of power consumed by the FMCW radar system in the detection mode is less than an amount of power consumed by the FMCW radar system in the classification mode.
