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.

The RF signal can be a short pulse generated by an RF front end, without automatic level control. The return signal can be processed without filtering.

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.
