  • Patent number: 10663574
    Abstract: An angle estimating method applied in a radar system. The radar system includes a first antenna array including M antennas. The angle estimating method includes steps of obtaining a plurality of beamforming weighting vectors; receiving signal from M antennas and forming a received vector; performing an augment operation on the received vector and obtaining an augmented received vector; computing correlation between the augmented received vector and the plurality of beamforming weighting vectors and obtaining a plurality of results accordingly; and determining an angle-of-arrival of an object according to the plurality of results.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 12, 2018
    Date of Patent: May 26, 2020
    Assignee: Wistron NeWeb Corporation

  • Patent number: 9778355
    Abstract: A signal processing method for a frequency-modulated continuous waveform (FMCW) radar system includes receiving a plurality of feedback signals from a plurality of targets and performing analog to digital conversion on the plurality of feedback signals to obtain a digital receiving signal corresponding to the plurality of feedback signals, performing a window function on the digital receiving signal to obtain a window transformation signal corresponding to the digital receiving signal, performing time-domain to frequency-domain conversion on the window transformation signal to obtain a spectrum signal of the window transformation signal, performing two beat frequency detections on the spectrum signal, and determining distances and speeds of the plurality of targets in comparison to the FMCW radar system according to results of the two beat frequency detections.
