The first and second antennas include one overlapping antenna. The third antenna is arranged at a position different in the second direction from a position of the first antennas. The third antenna is arranged at a position a prescribed spacing apart in the first direction from a position of the second antennas. At least one spacing of the first antennas is the prescribed spacing. Transmission antennas include fourth antennas arranged in the first direction and fifth antennas arranged in the second direction.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided in which receiver circuitry and signal processing circuitry may reside. The receiver circuitry receives a FMCW radar signal having a content signal (e.g., a random or information signal) embedded into a radar waveform and indicating a relationship in the FMCW radar signal between beat frequency and time delay. The signal processing circuitry may apply a filter (e.g., filtering with a group delay that approximates or relates to the relationship) that causes a residual error in, due to dispersion of, the content signal, and may account for (e.g., mitigate) the residual error by introduction of a dispersion-related function in further processing of the content signal.

Abstract: A radar detection system for activation of a powered closure member of a vehicle and corresponding method are provided. The system includes a radar sensor assembly having a radar transmit antenna for transmitting radar waves and a radar receive antenna for receiving the radar waves after reflection from an object in a detection zone. The radar sensor assembly outputs a sensor signal corresponding to the motion of the object in the detection zone. An electronic control unit is coupled to the radar sensor assembly and includes a data acquisition module to receive the sensor signal and a plurality of analysis modules to analyze the sensor signal to detect extracted features and determine whether extracted features are within predetermined thresholds representing a valid activation gesture. The electronic control unit initiates movement of the closure member in response to the extracted features being within the predetermined thresholds representing the valid activation gesture.

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: In an illustrative integrated circuit, a chirp generator provides a chirp signal having linearly-ramped chirp intervals, while a shift frequency generator provides a signal having a different shift frequency during each of multiple segments in each chirp interval. A modulator combines the signals to derive a segmented chirp signal having multiple linearly-ramped chirp segments in each chirp interval. The modulator may be a single sideband modulator to provide frequency up-shifted and frequency down-shifted chirp segments. The segmented chirp signal may be suppressed during resettling intervals of the original chirp signal.

Abstract: A control device for a ceiling fan may have a motor drive circuit configured to control a rotational speed of a motor of the ceiling fan, an occupancy sensing circuit, and a control circuit configured to adjust the rotational speed of the motor in response to a detected occupancy or vacancy condition. The control circuit may process the signals generated by the occupancy sensing circuit to eliminate the effects of vibrations and/or wobbling of the ceiling fan. The control circuit may control the motor drive circuit to adjust the rotational speed of the motor in response to an accelerometer to minimize the magnitude of the wobble of the ceiling fan. The control circuit may be configured to learn a preferred rotational speed for the motor. The control circuit may also be configured to control the rotational speed of the motor to affect a thermal comfort level of an occupant.

Abstract: Techniques described here introduce signature frequency modulation to unmodulated pulse signals as frequency chirps to enhance the security of multi-carrier phase-based ranging signals. The characteristics of the chirps may be mutually known by an initiator and a desired reflector of the ranging applications. The characteristics of the chirps may vary between the multi-carrier signals to thwart any attempt by an eavesdropper to predict the chirps. In one aspect, the characteristics of the chirps may be calculated for each timeslot of a ranging cycle by two authorized devices using a ciphering algorithm such as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) based on a shared security key. Each call of the AES may generate one or more pseudo-random numbers based on the shared security key and a time-varying initialization vector that increments every timeslot. Fields of the pseudo-random number may be extracted to determine the characteristics of the chirps associated with the timeslot.
