    Abstract: A method for estimating a spin of a projectile, the method comprising obtaining a first data series representing a radial velocity of a projectile over time in accordance with a radar signal reflected from the projectile, subtracting a center velocity of the first data series from the first data series to form a second data series representing a variation of the radial velocity of the projectile around the center velocity over time, dividing the second data series into respective time intervals, estimating, for each of the time intervals of the second data series, a frequency of the variation of the radial velocity of the projectile around the center velocity, and determining a spin of the projectile based on the estimated frequencies of the variation of the radial velocity of the projectile.

    Abstract: An automotive radar system and method are configured to transmit and receive radar signals. A first received radar signal is processed to generate a range-Doppler data frame. A first target cluster is identified at a first range in the range-Doppler data frame. A range spectrum data set associated with the first range is extracted from the range-Doppler data frame. A low-pass filter is applied to the range spectrum data set to extract a first portion of a spectrum of the range spectrum data set and an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) of the first portion of the spectrum is performed to generate a time-domain set of signal magnitudes. A super-resolution spectral estimation is applied to the time-domain set of signal magnitudes to identify a first range of a first target associated with the first target cluster. The first range is transmitted to a vehicle controller.

    Abstract: An object tracking apparatus generates a plurality of target candidates in which ambiguity in velocity is assumed for an object detected for a first time, calculates a current prediction value of a state quantity of each target candidate from a past estimation value of the state quantity of each target candidate, using one filter among a plurality of filters, and calculates the current estimation value of the state quantity of the target candidate from each of the calculated prediction values and a current observation value that matches each prediction value. The object tracking apparatus deletes the target candidate of which a determined likelihood is less than a preset threshold among the target candidates, and switches a used filter to a filter that has a larger number of state variables among the filters, in response to the target candidate being deleted and the total number of target candidates decreasing.

    Abstract: A radar processor for processing a frame of radar data received from one or more targets, the frame of radar data having a carrier frequency and comprising a sequence of codewords with a codeword repetition interval, wherein the carrier frequency and the codeword repetition interval define an unambiguous velocity range, the radar processor configured to: receive the frame of radar data; transform the frame to obtain a velocity data array; apply a correction algorithm to the velocity data array to correct a Doppler shift of the frame to obtain a corrected array, wherein the correction algorithm comprises a set of Doppler correction frequencies corresponding to a set of velocity gates and at least one of the set of Doppler correction frequencies corresponds to a velocity gate outside the unambiguous velocity range; and perform range processing on the corrected array to obtain a range-Doppler map.

    Abstract: A radar system transmits pulses towards a target and receives pulses reflected back therefrom. Based on samples (of the received pulses) corresponding to a CPI, a first 2D matrix having a slow-time index and a fast-time index is generated. A slow-time FFT is performed to convert the slow-time index to a Doppler bin index to produce a second 2D matrix having the Doppler bin index and the fast-time index. Thereafter, a 1D interpolation is performed along the Doppler bin index to produce a third 2D matrix having a Velocity bin index and the fast-time index. Thereafter, a fast-time FFT is performed to convert the fast-time index to a Range bin index to produce a fourth 2D matrix having the Velocity bin index and a Range bin index. A distance to and a velocity of a target is determined based on the fourth 2D matrix.
