Certain aspects provide a method for radar detection by an apparatus. The method generally includes transmitting a radar waveform in sets of transmission time intervals (TTIs), using a common set of radar transmission parameters in each set of TTIs, to perform detection of a target object, varying at least one of the common set of radar transmission parameters between sets of TTIs, and identifying interfering signals based on observed changes in monitored parameters of received signals across sets of TTIs due to the varying.

A radar system and a terminal device are provided. The radar system includes a controller and at least two radar modules directly or indirectly connected to the controller. The at least two radar modules include a first radar module and a second radar module, and the first radar module and the second radar module implement time division multiplexing of the controller in a digital domain. Compared with an existing radar system, the radar system in this application can provide more transmit channels, more receive channels, and a larger antenna array size when the two radar systems include a same quantity of controllers.

In an embodiment, a method for radar interference mitigation includes: transmitting a first plurality of radar signals having a first set of radar signal parameter values; receiving a first plurality of reflected radar signals; generating a radar image based on the first plurality of reflected radar signals; using a continuous reward function to generate a reward value based on the radar image; using a neural network to generate a second set of radar signal parameter values based on the reward value; and transmitting a second plurality of radar signals having the second set of radar signal parameter values.

A radio communication terminal (UE1) configured to act as a radar device, comprising a wireless communication chipset (313) including a transmitter (314) and a receiver (315), and logic (310) configured to control the wireless communication chipset to communicate on a radio channel (120) in a wireless communication system; execute radar probing (130) during a probing period, including to transmit a radar signal (140) using the transmitter and sense receive properties of a reflection (150) of the radar signal using the receiver; inhibit transmission of communication signals from the communication terminal during said probing period; and receive communication signals on the radio channel during said probing period.

An electronic device may include wireless circuitry that detects the location of external objects. A signal generator may concurrently transmit different radio-frequency ranging signals over two or more transmit antennas. The ranging signals may include waveforms with time-varying frequencies, where each waveform includes frequencies that are non-overlapping with the frequencies of each of the other waveforms at any given time. Antennas may receive reflected versions of the ranging signals and a processor may process the reflected versions of the ranging signals to identify the location of the external objects. This may prevent interference between the ranging signals and may significantly reduce the latency of location detection relative to examples where the ranging signals are transmitted by different transmit antennas in series.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) (e.g., a vehicle) may determine a configuration, including an offset value for the radar waveform, for transmitting a radar waveform for multiple radar transmitters. The UE may transmit, according to the identified configuration, a first instance of the radar waveform with a first radar transmitter. The UE may also transmit a second instance of the radar waveform with a second radar transmitter. The second instance of the radar waveform may be offset from the first instance of the radar waveform by the offset value. The Offset value may be a time offset, a frequency offset, or both. The UE may identify at least one object, and may filter our interference between the first instance of the radar waveform and the second instance of the radar waveform based on the offset.

A novel and useful system and method by which radar angle and range resolution are significantly improved without increasing complexity in critical hardware parts. A multi-pulse methodology is described in which each pulse contains partial angular and range information consisting of a portion of the total CPI bandwidth, termed multiband chirp. Each chirp has significantly reduced fractional bandwidth relative to monoband processing. Each chirp contains angular information that fills only a portion of the ‘virtual array’, while the full virtual array information is contained across the CPI. This is done using only a single transmission antenna per pulse, thus significantly simplifying MIMO hardware realization, referred to as antenna-multiplexing (AM). Techniques for generating the multiband chirps as well as receiving and generating improved fine range-Doppler data maps. A windowing technique deployed in the transmitter as opposed to the receiver is also disclosed.

An electronic device includes an ultra-wide band (UWB) circuit, and at least one processor comprising a controller of UWB circuit. The at least one processor is configured to transmit, through UWB circuit operating in a first mode, a first signal for a first field in a first frame, transmit, through UWB circuit operating in the first mode, a second signal including designated information for a second field in the first frame, receive, through UWB circuit operating in the first mode, a first reflected signal related to the first signal and a second reflected signal related to the second signal, respectively, caused by an external object, according to a state of the designated information identified from the second reflected signal, obtain information on the external object based on the first reflected signal or transmit a second frame through UWB circuit operating in a second mode.

An occupant detection device may be configured to detect an occupant in a space where the occupant detection device is installed. The occupant detection device may include an occupant detection circuit that is configured to determine locations of one or more occupants in the space. The occupant detection device may also include a low-power detection circuit that is configured to indicate an occupancy or vacancy condition in the space. The occupant detection device may include a control circuit that is configured to determine that the low-power detection circuit indicates that there are no occupants within the space. The control circuit may determine that there is movement in an occupant map or a region of interest (ROI) as indicated by the locations of the one or occupants as determined by the occupant detection circuit. The control circuit may configure masked regions around the locations of the movement, and store the masked regions in memory. The movement detected by the occupant detection device within the masked regions may be ignored when determining an occupant count for the space.
