Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to an antenna system in a radar system for object detection with a sounding signal. The antenna system includes a radiating array of elements configured to transmit a reference signal and an antenna controller coupled to the radiating array of elements. The antenna controller is configured to detect a set of reflections of the reference signal from an object. The antenna is configured to determine a location of the object and a mobility status from the set of reflections. The antenna controller is also configured to generate signaling indicating the location and mobility status of the object as output to identify a target object different from the object. Other examples disclosed herein relate to a radar system and a method of object detection with the radar system.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to an autonomous driving system in a vehicle, including a radar system with a reinforcement learning engine to control a beam steering antenna and identity targets in a path and a surrounding environment of the vehicle, and a sensor fusion module to receive information from the radar system on the identified targets and compare the information received from the radar system to information received from at least one sensor in the vehicle.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to a system of object detection, the system including a continuous modulation signal unit to generate a continuous modulation signal, a code generation unit to sample, quantize and encode the continuous modulation signal to generate an encoded signal, a transmit antenna to transmit the encoded signal, and a receive antenna to receive a reflection of the encoded signal and separate the reflection of the encoded signal from other signals.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for hybrid radar and camera edge sensors are disclosed. Examples disclosed herein relate to a hybrid sensor system having a plurality of edge sensors positioned on the perimeter of a vehicle. The hybrid sensor system processes signals received from the various sensors to identify a target located within the vicinity of the vehicle.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to systems and methods for configuring and operating an antenna system. In accordance with various embodiments, the disclosed system and methods utilize amplitude tapering of an antenna array to reduce side lobe levels while optimizing main lobe gain. An antenna array is configured to increase a gain differential by reducing side lobe amplitude. The array of radiating elements is arranged to have a majority of elements at the center of the array with fewer elements on the edges.
