  • Publication number: 20240125892
    Abstract: Method for providing reduced interference for at least two co-located FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) Doppler radars, each of said radars being used in a system to detect respective distances to and velocities of objects moving through space, can include a propagation determination step, in which expected electromagnetic wave propagation times are determined between pairs of radars; a sweep time offset synchronizing step, in which different respective sweep time offsets are selected, with respect to each radar in a first group of radars; and a sweep frequency offset synchronizing step, in which a second sweep frequency offset is selected with respect to a second group of radars, the second sweep frequency offset being relative to a sweep frequency pattern used for radars belonging to said first group. The invention also relates to a system and to a computer software product.

  • Publication number: 20200408878
    Abstract: A method for operating a radar transceiver to reduce a false alarm rate, the method including transmitting by at least one transmitter antenna, one or more frames at a duty cycle, each frame including N segments, each segment including M signal components, wherein the N segments are consecutively transmitted within the frame, receiving, by K receiver antennas, a response signal from a region of interest, ROI, detecting, for each segment, one or more target object reflections in the response signal, assigning, for each segment, a segment weight value to each of the one or more detected target object reflections, wherein a segment weight value corresponds to a likelihood of the associated target object reflection being associated with a false alarm, and filtering the target object reflections over the N segments based on the segment weight values.

  • Publication number: 20180306902
    Abstract: A method of calibrating a multiple-input and multiple-output radar system is provided. The radar system includes a transmitting array and a physical receiving array. The transmitting array includes a first transmitter and a second transmitter spaced a distance away from the first transmitter. In the method, a waveform signal is transmitted firstly from the first transmitter and then from the second transmitter, such that receiving sub-apertures of the physical receiving array overlap with receiving sub-apertures of a virtual receiving array. The waveform signal is received at the physical and virtual receiving arrays. Subsequently, deviations in response between the physical receiving array and the virtual receiving array are computed. Effective positions of the first transmitter and the second transmitter are assessed, based upon the computed deviations. Setup calibrations needed for the multiple-input and multiple-output radar system are then determined, in order to reduce the computed deviations.

  • Patent number: 9145073
    Abstract: A collapsible bolster cushion for a collapsible seat is provided. The collapsible bolster cushion includes a first support member that is attachable to a seat bottom or a seat back and a second support member. A separator element is disposed between the first and second support members. The separator element is movable between a first orientation and a second orientation such that in the first orientation, the separator element resiliently biases a portion of the second support member away from the first support member, and when the separator element is in the second orientation, the portion of the second support member is permitted to collapse toward the first support member to allow the seat to collapse to the folded position. An actuator moves the separator element between the first and second orientations.
