Vehicle radar sensor utilizing non-uniform frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) chirps
11536801 · 2022-12-27 · ·

A vehicle radar sensor utilizes Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar signals that incorporate non-uniform FMCW chirps having chirp profiles that differ from one another to sense one or more parameters of one or more objects in a field of view of the radar sensor. The chirp profiles may differ from one another in various manners, e.g., based on starting frequency, repetition interval, duration and/or slope, and among other advantages, may be used to enhance sensing of various parameters such as range, Doppler/velocity and/or angle.

Radar Interference Mitigation Using Signal Pattern Matching
20220404455 · 2022-12-22 ·

This document describes techniques, apparatuses, and systems for radar interference mitigation using signal pattern matching. Radar signals (e.g., chirps) received by a radar system may include interference from other nearby radar systems. The interference can result in reduced sensitivity of the radar system. The techniques, apparatuses, and systems described herein mitigate the interference by selecting an uncorrupted segment of the radar signal that neighbors a corrupted segment, analyzing the radar signal to identify a match segment that has similar signal characteristics to the neighbor segment, and replacing the corrupted segment with a segment that is adjacent to the match segment. In this manner, a noise floor of the radar system may be lowered, leading to increased sensitivity.
