    摘要: Some aspects of the present disclosure relate a radar system including a radio frequency (RF) receiver that receives radar data on a plurality of receive antennas. A fast Fourier transform (FFT) circuit is coupled to the RF receiver. The FFT circuit performs a FFT on the radar data to provide a plurality of Range-Doppler coordinate pairs that pertain to the plurality of receive antennas. An integration block is coupled to the FFT circuit, and sums multiple Range-Doppler coordinate pairs for respective Doppler bins to provide a plurality of Range-Doppler sums. The integration block also sums multiple Range-Doppler sums within the plurality of Range-Doppler sums to provide an integration result. The multiple Range-Doppler coordinate pairs that are summed are spaced apart from one another by a Doppler offset.

    摘要: Processing of a fractalet radio detection and ranging (RADAR) signal is described. A reference fractalet waveform is received. The fractalet waveform includes self-similar waveforms having lower frequency bands and frequency bands. A reflected fractalet waveform received via one or more antennae is decoded. A waveform profile of chirplet transforms of signals in the lower frequency bands within the reflected fractalet waveform are compared to the reference fractalet waveform. Time spans corresponding to the subset of lower frequency bands are determined. Signals from the higher frequency bands are extracted from the reflected fractalet waveform. Chirplet transforms for the extracted signals from the higher frequency bands are determined for the determined time spans. Spatial frequency components along azimuth direction and elevation directions are calculated for targets based on the chirplet transforms for the extracted signals from the higher frequency bands.

    摘要: An OFDM radar sensor including multiple transmission channels and at least one reception channel, and a method for operating such an OFDM radar sensor. At least for first transmission channels, the signal form of the signal to be transmitted, which includes a sequence of OFDM symbols in question, is progressively computed in portions for each transmission channel, and multiple buffer memories are used in alternation for storing a computed portion of the signal form and for reading out a previously computed and stored preceding portion of the signal form, which is converted from digital to analog and transmitted. A particular portion of the signal form is computed and stored in one of the buffer memories while a preceding portion of the signal form is being read out from another of the buffer memories and converted from digital to analog, and transmitted on the transmission channel in question.

    摘要: Techniques and architectures for managing radar sensor processing chains. A first high-frequency radio signal is received with a first RF receiver in the plurality of RF sensor suites on a host platform. The received high-frequency radio signal is converted to a lower second frequency range. A chirplet transform is performed on the signal in the second frequency range. Stored relative location information for a second RF receiver in the plurality of RF sensor suites is retrieved. Radar waveform information corresponding to the second RF receiver in a processing stream corresponding to the first RF receiver is extracted by utilizing the retrieved information and results from the chirplet transform. A point cloud is generated based on the converted signal in the second frequency range and the extracted radar waveform information.

    摘要: A radar apparatus includes signal generation circuitry, which, in operation, generates a plurality of transmission signals transmitted at different transmission start timings, and transmission circuitry, which, in operation, applies different phase rotations to a first transmission signal and a second transmission signal among the plurality of transmission signals and transmits the first transmission signal and the second transmission signal from different transmission antennas. A transmission start timing of the second transmission signal is later than a transmission start timing of the first transmission signal. A part of the first transmission signal and a part of the second transmission signal are transmitted in a first period. A modulation frequency of the first transmission signal at a first timing included in the first period differs from a modulation frequency of the second transmission signal at the first timing.
