Antenna meter app
Disclosed is an over-the-air (OTA) antenna meter application (“meter app”) that wirelessly connects to an OTA antenna meter (“meter”) installed with an OTA antenna and presents information that facilitates a user in installing the OTA antenna at the premises of a customer. For example, the meter app can help the user in pointing and peaking the OTA antenna for one or more broadcast channels, e.g., those selected by the customer. The meter app can store installation information of the OTA antenna for various installations, which can be used in generating a recommendation of, or predicting, installation information for installing the OTA antenna at a specified address. The predicted installation information can include broadcast channels that would be available for reception at the specified address and their signal strength, a specific location of installation on the premises, or whether a pre-amplifier and/or filter is required.
SPARSE ANTENNA ARRAYS FOR AUTOMOTIVE RADAR
An exemplary radar sensing system utilizing a sparse array antenna structure provides an enhanced angular resolution to detect multiple targets with improved accuracy beyond the abilities of conventional radar. The exemplary radar system uses sparsely located antenna array elements allowing improved FOV, angular resolution, beam width, and side lobes using fewer physical antenna elements. Sparse antenna arrays allow the use of physically larger elements, larger separation between transmitter and receiver elements to reduce mutual coupling, and fewer elements to reduce necessary computations.

Method of wireless interference mitigation with efficient utilization of computational resources
A method of mitigating interference in a received wireless signal by adaptive digital filtering efficiently deploys computational resources by using at least one of a DDC, weight generator, and scrubber to perform calculations necessary to generate a plurality of output streams.

Embodiments generate sets of weights according to one received multipath signal copy, and then apply the generated weights to filter additional multipath copes received at the same frequency. Various embodiments dedicate a DDC to each receive frequency to form a bank of down-converted outputs, from among which each weigh generator can select primary and reference inputs.
