In a wireless local area network (LAN) system, a sensing session comprises a first burst and a second burst, wherein, in the first burst, a transmitting STA may transmit a first sounding signal to a first receiving STA and a second receiving STA. In the first burst, the transmitting STA may receive, from the first receiving STA, a first feedback frame comprising first channel information between the transmitting STA and the first receiving STA, and, from the second receiving STA, a second feedback frame comprising channel information between the transmitting STA and the second receiving STA. In the second burst, the transmitting STA may receive a second sounding signal from the first receiving STA. In the second burst, the transmitting STA may receive, from the second receiving STA, a third feedback frame comprising channel information between the first receiving STA and the second receiving STA.

This document describes techniques and systems to enable a radar system to detect angles in bistatic and monostatic scenarios. In some examples, an automotive radar system includes one or more processors. The processors can obtain electromagnetic (EM) energy reflected by objects and generate, based on the reflected EM energy, a two-dimensional (2D) data matrix. The 2D data matrix has a number of rows corresponding to the number of antenna elements in a transmitter array and a number of columns corresponding to the number of antenna elements in a receiver array. Using the 2D data matrix, the processors can determine DoA estimates and DoD estimates in monostatic and bistatic scenarios. By comparing the DoA estimates to the DoD estimates, the processors can determine an angle associated with the objects. In this way, the described techniques and systems can enable angle detection in monostatic and bistatic conditions with improved angular resolution and reduced cost.

In an inductive charging system energy is transferred via a magnetic field. An object detection apparatus for an inductive charging system comprises: a transmitter configured to transmit a signal; a receiver having a field of view including a substantial portion of the magnetic field, the receiver configured to receive within the field of view a reflected signal of the signal; and a signal processor configured to examine characteristics of the received, reflected signal to identify a hazard condition in relation to the magnetic field. By converting the received signal into a frequency domain signal, hazard conditions may be identified depending on the form of the frequency domain signal. The object detection apparatus is suitable for use in a charging apparatus for an electric vehicle.

Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement a distributed radar system. The distributed radar system includes two or more radar front-end circuits and at least one processor. The radar front-end circuits are distributed within a device at different positions. By partitioning antennas and transceivers across multiple radar front-end circuits instead of consolidating into a single integrated circuit, individual radar front-end circuits can have a smaller footprint than the single integrated circuit. This smaller footprint enables the radar front-end circuits to be integrated within space-constrained devices. The smaller footprint also provides additional flexibility in positioning the radar front-end circuits away from other components within the device that can cause interference. This can reduce the amount of interference seen by the distributed radar system.
