A method and apparatus with vehicle radar control is disclosed. An apparatus with vehicle radar control includes a radio frequency (RF) transceiver including a transmitting antenna array and a receiving antenna array, and at least one processor configured to collect environmental information of the vehicle, determine a radar mode of the vehicle based on the collected environmental information, generate one or more control signal configured to control one or more of the transmitting antenna array and the receiving antenna array based on the determined radar mode, and provide the generated one or more control signals to the RF transceiver, wherein one or more of the transmitting antenna array and the receiving antenna array operate according to the one or more generated control signals.

An operation method performed by an apparatus for detecting multiple targets may comprise transmitting first signals using M.sub.t transmit antennas included in the apparatus; receiving the first signals reflected by the multiple targets through M.sub.r receive antennas included in the apparatus; generating a first function for estimating a velocity and an azimuth of each of the multiple targets using the first signals and the reflected first signals; estimating a velocity and an azimuth that maximize a result of the first function as a velocity and an azimuth of a first target closest to the apparatus among the multiple targets; generating a second function by cancelling interference caused by the first target from the first function; and estimating a velocity and an azimuth that maximize a result of the second function as a velocity and an azimuth of a second target among the multiple targets.

A method of implementing frequency division multiple access (FDMA) in a radar system of a vehicle includes transmitting a chirp signal from each of a plurality of transmit elements of the radar system simultaneously. The chirp signal transmitted by each of the plurality of transmit elements increases or decreases linearly in frequency over a frequency range over a duration of time and the frequency range of the chirp signal transmitted by adjacent ones of the plurality of transmit elements partially overlapping. The method also includes processing a reflection received based on reflection of the chirp signal transmitted by the plurality of transmit elements by one or more objects and controlling an operation of the vehicle based on locating the one or more objects.

A method, wireless device and measuring station are disclosed that determine the best fit geo-location of a target station. According to one aspect, a method includes, using a “Pass Filter” for minimization of the summation of squared miss probabilities SSMP that improves the fitting process of the measured data over the method of minimization of the summation of the squared residuals (SSR) in the presence of spurious measurements. A “Pass Filter” approach is disclosed that reduces the corruption of the fitting process by outlier data and still yields the same result in the limit of clean data as the classic summation of the squared residuals (SSR) method.

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.

A method for determining a lateral position of a vehicle passing a road and carrying a transponder uses at least two antennas mounted at different lateral positions and connected to a processor and comprises: triggering the transponder and recording signals from responses of the transponder by the processor, each signal being received via one of the antennas and recorded as i) a time of receipt at said one antenna and ii) the lateral position of said one antenna; generating by the processor a regression curve fitting all recorded signals; and determining by the processor the lateral position of the vehicle from the generated regression curve. An apparatus implementing said method is also disclosed.

This document describes techniques and systems of a radar system with sequential two-dimensional (2D) angle estimation. The radar system can efficiently estimate angles in two dimensions for detections. For example, a radar system includes a processor and an antenna that can receive electromagnetic energy reflected by one or more objects. The antenna includes a 2D array that includes antenna elements positioned in a first dimension and a second dimension. The processor can determine, using electromagnetic energy received by the 2D array, first angles in the first dimension associated with a detection of the one or more objects. The processor can then steer the 2D array to the first angle to generate a steered 1D array for each first angle. Using the steered 1D array, the processor can determine second angles associated with the first angle for the detection.

A ground map monitor method comprises obtaining positions of communication nodes in a communications network, selecting transmission and reception nodes from the communication nodes, and measuring bistatic signals between the transmission and reception nodes to determine nominal signal performance characteristics for the bistatic signals, including reflected signal time delays, frequency shifts, and power levels. The method further comprises monitoring the bistatic signals for changes to nominal signal performance characteristics. The method uses discriminators between the nominal signal performance characteristics and a current performance level of the bistatic signals, and compares the discriminators against performance thresholds, to determine whether current signal performance characteristics have varied from their nominal levels. An alert signal is broadcast that a section of a navigation map is not useable for navigation of a vehicle if changes in the current performance level of the bistatic signals exceeds the performance thresholds.

This disclosure enables various technologies involving various actions based on tracking an object via a plurality of distance sensors, without synchronizing carrier waves of the distance sensors or without employing a PLL technique on the distance sensors.
