Methods and systems for vehicle radar coordination and interference reduction
A method is provided that includes a vehicle receiving data from an external computing device indicative of at least one other vehicle in an environment of the vehicle. The vehicle may include a sensor configured to detect the environment of the vehicle. The at least one other vehicle may include at least one sensor. The method also includes determining a likelihood of interference between the at least one sensor of the at least one other vehicle the sensor of the vehicle. The method also includes initiating an adjustment of the sensor to reduce the likelihood of interference between the sensor of the vehicle and the at least one sensor of the at least one other vehicle responsive to the determination.
Radar Interference Mitigation Method And Apparatus
Methods and apparatuses pertaining to radar interference mitigation are described. A processor associated with an apparatus may generate a plurality of wave frames such that one or more aspects of the plurality of wave frames vary from one wave frame to another wave frame of the plurality of wave frames.

Radar signal modulator with bandwidth compensation and frequency offset sequence
Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for generating a frequency hopping radar signal. In one example, a radar signal modulator include a frequency offset generator, a phase locked loop, and a bandwidth compensation circuitry. The frequency offset generator is configured to generate a sequence of frequency offsets. The bandwidth compensation circuitry is configured to combine a modulation signal and the sequence of frequency offsets to generate a bandwidth compensated signal. The PLL is configured to receive the bandwidth compensated signal and generate a frequency hopping radar signal based on the bandwidth compensated signal.
FILTER APPARATUS AND TARGET DETECTION APPARATUS
A filter apparatus has a first filter and a second filter. The first filter receives at least an up signal of a non-linear signal of which a single cycle is a predetermined period that includes an up interval and a down interval. In the up interval, a signal level non-linearly rises along a time axis. In the down interval, the signal level non-linearly falls along the time axis. The up signal is a signal in the up interval of the non-linear signal. The first filter performs linearization of the received up signal by improving linearity of the received up signal. The second filter receives at least a down signal of the non-linear signal. The down signal is a signal in the down interval of the non-linear signal. The second filter performs linearization of the received down signal by improving linearity of the received down signal.
Systems and Methods for Noninvasive Detection of Impermissible Objects
A method comprises scanning a subject with a coherent radar beam from a single chip operating in the terahertz range, and executing instructions, on a processor, to create one or more digital images based said scanning. One or more digital images are combined at the processor to form a super image, and based on the super image, the processor determines whether the subject is carrying a concealed object. if the subject is determined to be carrying a concealed object, and certain alert-generating rules are met, an alert is generated.
Method for Detecting Target Object by Using Radio Signal and Related Apparatus
A method includes determining a first time domain range, where the first time domain range is one of L time domain ranges, and transmitting a first radio signal in the first time domain range, where any one of the L time domain ranges partially overlaps at least one of the other L−1 time domain ranges, and an absolute value of a difference between time domain start positions of any two of the L time domain ranges is not less than a first threshold F, and is less than a time domain length of the first time domain range.
Radar system facilitating ease and accuracy of user interactions with a user interface
This document describes techniques and systems that enable a radar system facilitating ease and accuracy of user interactions with a user interface. The techniques and systems can be implemented in an electronic device, such as a smartphone, and use a radar field to accurately determine three-dimensional (3D) gestures that can be used in combination with other inputs, such as touch or voice inputs, to interact with the user interface. These techniques allow the user to make 3D gestures from a distance and enable seamless integration of touch and voice commands with 3D gestures to improve functionality and user enjoyment.
