    摘要: Example embodiments relate to methods and systems for automated generation of radar interference reduction training data for autonomous vehicles. In an example, a computing device causes a radar unit to transmit radar signals in an environment of a vehicle. The computing device may include a model trained based on a labeled interferer dataset that represents interferer signals generated by an emitter located remote from the vehicle. The interferer signals are based on one or more radar signal parameter models. The computing device may use the model to determine whether received electromagnetic energy corresponds to transmitted radar signals or an interferer signal. Based on determining that the electromagnetic energy corresponds to the transmitted radar signals, the computing device may generate a representation of the environment of the vehicle using the electromagnetic energy.

    摘要: An ultra-wideband (UWB) system includes an enclosure, and an ultra-wideband (UWB) transmitter array within the enclosure, the UWB transmitter array having a transmitter component that transmits electromagnetic waves toward a region-of-interest (ROI), the UWB array having a receiver component that receives reflected electromagnetic waves from objects in the ROI and generates object data. The system further includes a radar absorbing material positioned to receive electromagnetic waves transmitted from the transmitter component that are not directed toward the ROI, and a pattern recognition device having a processor configured to process the electromagnetic waves reflected from the ROI and to determine whether an object-of-interest (OOI) pattern is recognized within the object data.

    摘要: A radar apparatus includes a radar transmitter that transmits a radar signal in a predetermined transmission cycle and a radar receiver that receives a reflection wave signal being a reflection of the radar signal on a target. The radar transmitter includes a phase rotation controller that randomly varies a pattern of a phase rotation every period corresponding to a plurality of transmission cycles, the pattern being to be applied to the radar signal within a period, and a transmission phase rotator that assigns a first phase rotation to the radar signal in accordance with the pattern. The radar receiver includes a reception phase rotator that assigns a second phase rotation in a direction opposite to a direction of the first phase rotation to the reflection wave signal in accordance with the pattern.

    摘要: A phase shifting system, a chip, and a radar sensor are provided. A respective transmission line phase-shifting unit is configured to receive at least one phase shifting control signal and to shift a phase of a RF signal by a first phase or a second phase. Each transmission line phase-shifting unit includes a first group of transmission lines and a second group of transmission lines. At least some transmission lines in the first group of transmission lines of each transmission line phase-shifting unit are physically isolated from at least some transmission lines in the first group of transmission lines of an adjacent transmission line phase-shifting unit and transmission lines of the second group of transmission lines of each transmission line phase-shifting unit are coupled to respective transmission lines of the second group of transmission lines of an adjacent transmission line phase-shifting unit.

    摘要: A radar apparatus includes an antenna unit, a cover portion, and a radio-wave suppression portion. The antenna unit includes an antenna surface in which one or more antennas that radiate radio waves are provided and is configured to emit a target radio wave of a predetermined frequency band. The cover portion is configured to be provided in a position through which the target radio wave passes. The radio-wave suppression portion is integrated with the cover portion in an out-of-detection-range area, of an outer surface of the cover portion, that is an area outside a range of a detection angle of the antenna portion, and includes a conductive portion that has conductivity and a non-conductive portion that does not have conductivity.

    摘要: Techniques to improve the detection and mitigation of synchronous and asynchronous interference in radar signals. The corrupted received signals can be processed to reduce the effect of interference, while preserving existing targets. Various can use a two-step approach to (1) detect and mask the corrupted samples, and (2) recover the masked-out samples. The recovery step enforces sparsity of the existing targets and prevents target smearing, which is a common problem after interference mitigation. The sparsity enforcing recovery step can preserve small targets while successfully rejecting interference. The techniques do not require any prior knowledge of the parameters of the interfering radar.
