A transceiver for a detection and ranging apparatus comprising: a transmitter chain comprising a first sequence generator configured to generate a first signal based on a digital sequence; an interference cancellation block comprising a second sequence generator configured to generate a second signal based on the same digital sequence used to generate the first signal, the second signal having a predetermined time delay relative to the first signal; and the receiver chain configured to receive a received signal for detection and ranging, the received signal having components comprising at least none, one, or more reflections of the transmission signal and a component comprising an interference signal, the receiver chain comprising a first analog signal mixer configured to provide an output signal by mixing the received signal and the second signal thereby cancelling the interference signal in the received signal.

Disclosed is an ATC Radar and a method of operating an ATC Radar, including the steps of: receiving In-phase (I) and Quadrature (Q) signals; creating first and second complex clutter maps using the I and Q signals; wherein the first map comprises data which is dynamically updated on a per-scan basis and the second map comprises data indicative of a static environment with no targets; subtracting data from the second map from the received I and Q signals to mitigate the effects of static objects in the environment, to yield compensated I and Q data; and using the compensated I and Q data for target detection and/or tracking.

A radar system is disclosed for detecting profiles of objects, particularly in a vicinity of a machine work tool. The radar system uses a direct digital synthesiser to generate an intermediate frequency off-set frequency. It also uses an up-converter comprising a quadrature mixer, single-side mixer or complex mixer to add the off-set frequency to the transmitted frequency. It further uses a down-converter in the receive path driven by the off-set frequency as a local oscillator. The radar system enables received information to be transferred to the intermediate frequency. This in turn can be sampled synchronously in such a way as to provide a complex data stream carrying amplitude and phase information. The radar system is implementable with a single transmit channel and a single receive channel.

A radar apparatus includes a correlator which, in operation, calculates a correlation value between the digital transmission pulse signals and the digital reception pulse signals, an error estimator which, in operation, estimates, on the basis of the correlation value, an I component error and a Q component error included in the digital reception pulse signals, a correction parameter calculator which, in operation, calculates a correction parameter for correcting the I component error and the Q component error, and an error corrector which, in operation, corrects, on the basis of the correction parameter, the I component error and the Q component error included in at least one of the digital transmission pulse signals and the digital reception pulse signals.
