    摘要: A non-transitory computer-readable storage device stores machine instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to determine a chirp period Tc for radar chirps in a radar frame. The chirp period Tc comprises a rising period Trise and a falling period Tfall. The processor determines, for each radar chirp in the radar frame, a corresponding randomized frequency characteristic during Tfall, and causes a radar sensor circuit to generate the radar chirps in the radar frame based on Tc, Trise, Tfall, and the corresponding randomized frequency characteristics. In some implementations, the machine instructions to determine the corresponding randomized frequency characteristic comprise machine instructions to determine a frequency step having a frequency f_step and a period Tstep. At least one of the frequency f_step and the period Tstep is dithered across radar chirps in the radar frame.

    摘要: A device includes a comparison circuit and a calculation circuit coupled to the comparison circuit. The comparison circuit is configured to receive a first digital input value (X) and a second digital input value (Y), and provide a first digital output value that indicates one of a first relationship, a second relationship, and a third relationship between X and Y. The calculation circuit is configured to receive X and Y, receive the first digital output value, and provide a second digital output value. The second digital output value is a first linear combination of X and Y responsive to the first digital output value indicating the first relationship, a second linear combination of X and Y responsive to the first digital output value indicating the second relationship, and a third linear combination of X and Y responsive to the first digital output value indicating the third relationship.

    摘要: Non-transitory computer-readable mediums and systems are provided in which a portion of each chirp of a series of chirps is held at an offset frequency for a period of time, and in which the offset frequency, the period of time or both is varied or dithered across the chirps of the series of chirps. The portion of a chirp that is held at an offset frequency for a period of time may be a non-active portion of the chirp, during which the chirp is not sampled. In some implementations, the portion of a chirp that is held at an offset frequency for a period of time is during a falling portion of the chirp, which may be at the beginning of the falling portion, or at the end of the falling portion immediately before a rise portion of a succeeding chirp.

    摘要: A system includes a memory configured to store a two-dimensional data structure that includes radar data arranged such that radar data of a first transmitter is separated from radar data of a second transmitter by a Doppler offset in the two-dimensional data structure. The system also includes a data fetch mechanism that includes a lookup table (LUT) applied on either of two dimensions. The lookup table is configured to store a data fetch location in the two-dimensional data structure, where the data fetch location indicates a location from which to fetch a subset of the radar data from the two-dimensional data structure and the data fetch mechanism is configured to fetch the subset of the radar data from the two-dimensional data structure based on the LUT. The system includes a processor configured to perform a fast Fourier transform (FFT) on the fetched subset of the radar data.
