A phase Doppler radar system may comprise a pulse Doppler receiver/transmitter (R/T) subsystem coupled with a processing subsystem. The system may determine target velocity and target detection events by collecting pulses from the pulse Doppler R/T subsystem, determine an undifferentiated phase of each of the pulses, differentiate the pulses, and determine a differentiated phase of each of the pulses. The system may perform a linear fit of the differentiated phases of the pulses to produce a slope and an intercept. The system may determine a set of initial estimates of coefficients of a nonlinear fit equation. The system may perform iterations of a nonlinear least squares fit, beginning with the initial coefficient estimates, to produce a non-linear fit result. The system may determine a goodness-of-fit (GoF) statistic associated with the nonlinear fit result, and declare a detection event when the GoF is superior to a GoF statistic associated Gaussian noise.

A detection device includes a transmitter for outputting an impulse signal and a receiver for receiving and processing a reflected signal obtained by reflecting the impulse signal from a target. The receiver includes a sample and extension unit that samples a received signal and extends a duration of a value obtained by sampling the received signal to form an extended signal extended to a frequency lower than a frequency of the reflected signal.

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.

A driving support apparatus for supporting the driving of a vehicle includes: a boundary estimation part for outputting magnetic waves or ultrasonic waves to the periphery of a vehicle, and for estimating the boundary of a roadway based on reflected waves which are detected by a sensor for detecting the reflected waves; a detection part for detecting a mobile body based on the reflected waves which are detected by the sensor; and a region estimation part for estimating a progress region of the object vehicle which is moving in an adjacent lane when this detection part detects the mobile body generated by multiplexed reflections from an object vehicle which is actually moving in the adjacent lane.

Example embodiments described herein involve techniques for removing transmit phase noise. A system may cause a printed circuit board (PCB) to supply a signal enabling the transmission line to couple the signal to the radar unit and the delay line to couple the signal to the quadrature coupler. The radar unit may use the signal to transmit a radar signal on a radio channel having a centered radio frequency while the quadrature coupler uses the signal to produce an output from the quadrature coupler. The system may estimate phase noise relative to the radio channel having the centered RF based on the output from the quadrature coupler, receive, from the radar unit, a radar reflection corresponding to the radar signal, and determine information representative of one or more objects in an environment based on the radar reflection and the phase noise.
