Provided are a direct wave suppression method and system for a microwave imaging system. The method includes a series of filtering operations, such as conversion from a frequency domain to a time domain, filtering, conversion from the time domain to the frequency domain, and cancellation subtraction, on an echo signal set composed of echo signals obtained by a vertical linear array antenna at all the equivalent antenna collection positions thereof.

For example, a MIMO radar may include a plurality of Tx chains to process a plurality of digital Tx signals for transmission of a plurality of Tx RF signals; a plurality of Rx chains configured to output a plurality of digital Rx signals based on a plurality of Rx RF signals and a plurality of digital leakage-cancellation signals, wherein an Rx chain of the plurality of Rx chains is configured to output a digital Rx signal based on an Rx RF signal and a digital leakage-cancellation signal corresponding to the Rx chain; and a digital MIMO filter to generate the plurality of digital leakage-cancellation signals based on the plurality of digital Tx signals, the digital MIMO filter configured to generate the digital leakage-cancellation signal corresponding to the Rx chain by applying to the plurality of digital Tx signals a respective plurality of filters corresponding to the Rx chain.

A continuous wave radar system comprises a substrate, a transmitter disposed on the substrate, a receiver disposed on the substrate, and an isolating device comprising a plurality of metal plates parallelly disposed on the substrate between the transmitter and the receiver for isolating leakage signal transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver. The metal plates are grounded with the transmitter and the receiver via electrical connection between the metal plates and the substrate. The metal plates are so arranged that an eddy current induced in each of the metal plates is directed away by grounding when the leakage signal passes through the metal plates.

A radar system utilizing a linear chirp that can achieve a larger MIMO virtual array than traditional systems is provided. Transmit channels transmit distinct chirp signals in an overlapped fashion such that the pulse repetition interval is kept short and the frame is kept short. This alleviates range migration and aids in achieving a high frame update rate. The chirp signals from differing transmitters can be separated on receive in the range spectrum domain, such that a MIMO virtual array construction is possible. Distinct chirps are delayed versions of the first chirp signal. Chirps overlap in the fast-time domain, but due to delay, there is separation in the range spectrum domain. When the delay is at least the instrument round-trip delay, transmitters are separable. Further, the wavelengths are identical across transmitters such that there is no residual-range versus angle ambiguity issue present in the claimed frequency-offset modulation range division MIMO system.

This document describes techniques and systems for reducing a state based on sensor data from an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and radar. The techniques and systems use inertial sensor data from an IMU as well as radar data to reduce states of a user equipment, such as power, access, and information states. These states represent power used, an amount of access permitted, or an amount of information provided by the user equipment. The techniques manage the user equipment's states to correspond to a user's engagement with the user equipment, which can save power, reduce unwarranted access, and reduce an amount of information provided when the user is not engaged with the user equipment, thereby protecting the user's privacy.

This document describes techniques and systems for authentication management through IMU and radar. The techniques and systems use inertial sensor data from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and/or radar data to manage authentication for a computing device. By so doing, the techniques conserve power, improve accuracy, or reduce latency relative to many common techniques and systems for computing-device authentication.

An ultra-wideband (UWB) system includes an enclosure, and an ultra-wideband (UWB) transmitter array within the enclosure, the UWB transmitter array having a transmitter component that transmits electromagnetic waves toward a region-of-interest (ROI), the UWB array having a receiver component that receives reflected electromagnetic waves from objects in the ROI and generates object data. The system further includes a radar absorbing material positioned to receive electromagnetic waves transmitted from the transmitter component that are not directed toward the ROI, and a pattern recognition device having a processor configured to process the electromagnetic waves reflected from the ROI and to determine whether an object-of-interest (OOI) pattern is recognized within the object data.

Specifically, the antenna device according to the present disclosure includes: at least one first antenna arranged in one direction and configured to radiate a beam tilted at a first tilt angle; at least one second antenna arranged to be spaced apart from the first antenna and configured to radiate a beam tilted at a second tilt angle; an input/output terminal disposed such that any one of a transmission signal and a reception signal moves therethrough; and a divider comprising a first port connected to the first antenna, a second port connected to the second antenna, and a third port connected to the input/output terminal, wherein the divider is disposed such that a signal transmitted to one of the first port and the second port is transmitted to a remaining one of the first and second port through a first path and a second path and the transmitted signal is isolated in the remaining port.

A method is provided for radar ranging using an IR-UWB radar transceiver. The range is determined by measuring a time required by a transmitted pulse to be reflected by an object and returned to the transceiver. The method includes transmitting a ranging signal having a predetermined sequence of positive and negative pulses using a transmitter of the transceiver. A receiver of the transceiver receives a signal having a reflected portion and a feedthrough portion. In the method, the receiver cancels the feedthrough portion using a delayed pulse polarity signal such that when the delayed pulse polarity signal is multiplied and accumulated with the received signal, the feedthrough portion is canceled, and the reflected portion is amplified. In another embodiment, a transceiver is provided that cancels the feedthrough portion while amplifying the reflected portion. Cancelling the feedthrough portion allows short-range operation by removing a blind range of the transceiver.
