20230017983 · 2023-01-19 ·

Example embodiments relate to radar reflection filtering using a vehicle sensor system. A computing device may detect a first object in radar data from a radar unit coupled to a vehicle and, responsive to determining that information corresponding to the first object is unavailable from other vehicle sensors, use the radar data to determine a position and a velocity for the first object relative to the radar unit. The computing device may also detect a second object aligned with a vector extending between the radar unit and the first object. Based on a geometric relationship between the vehicle, the first object, and the second object, the computing device may determine that the first object is a self-reflection of the vehicle caused at least in part by the second object and control the vehicle based on this determination.

Radar devices and methods using multicarrier logarithmic warped frequency domain code waveforms

This disclosure introduces a mapping for creating good Doppler detection capable radar codes. The mapping transfers an existing digital radar code to the warped frequency domain by expressing the code elements as magnitudes and phases of selected frequencies. These frequencies are equispaced in the warped frequency domain to preserve the code's sidelobes after mapping. The frequency warping function may convert the multiplicative Doppler shift into an additive shift of the code pattern in the warped frequency domain, which allows Doppler shift detection.
