    Abstract: Disclosed is a radar device capable of operating in a dual mode, which includes a transmitter that includes a first signal generator that generates a Doppler radar signal and a second signal generator that generates a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar signal, a receiver that receives a reflected signal reflected from a target and converts the reflected signal to a digital signal, a signal processing circuit that processes the digital signal differently depending on the dual mode to output an output signal, a signal analysis circuit that analyzes the output signal, and a controller that controls operations of the transmitter, the receiver, the signal processing circuit, and the signal analysis circuit, and the dual mode includes a first mode in which the first signal generator is activated and a second mode in which the second signal generator is activated.

    Abstract: A method for operating a rail vehicle with radar sensors arranged at both ends of the vehicle. The method includes: carrying out an object detection of upcoming obstacles and objects by operating a radar sensor in the direction of travel in normal mode, in which an obstacle detection of approaching objects ahead in the roadway is carried out based an a radar detection; detecting an approaching object, if a superimposed determined radar pulse pattern is received in the radar detection with the radar sensor in normal mode, wherein the determined radar pulse pattern corresponds to a radar pulse pattern that deviates from a radar transmission signal in normal operation.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to detecting presence using a low-cost radar. A transmitted signal including repetitions of a transmitted signal is emitted from a transmitting antenna. A received signal including a combination of a plurality of reflections of the transmitted signal is received at receiving antennas. For each received signal, the received signal is processed to determine whether a threshold has been exceeded. When the received signal exceeds the threshold, presence due to a motion from a moving body is determined. When the received signal does not exceed the threshold, a periodicity of the received signal is measured to determine whether the periodicity of the received signal is within a vital range, and presence due to a vital sign is determined when the periodicity is within the vital range.

    Abstract: A radar signal processing method includes: extracting a first chirp sequence signal of a first carrier frequency and a second chirp sequence signal of a second carrier frequency from a radar signal received through an array antenna in a radar sensor; generating a first range-Doppler map by performing frequency conversion on the first chirp sequence signal; detecting a first target cell corresponding to a first target in the first range-Doppler map; determining a first ambiguous Doppler velocity of the first target based on first frequency information of the first target cell; determining a first range of an unambiguously measurable Doppler velocity through the first chirp sequence signal; estimating second ambiguous Doppler velocities based on the first ambiguous Doppler velocity and the first range; and determining a Doppler velocity of the first target by performing partial frequency conversion on the second chirp sequence signal based on the second ambiguous Doppler velocities.
