  • Publication number: 20230305104
    Abstract: A radar receiver comprising: an ADC (510) that samples analogue intermediate frequency, IF, signalling in order to generate digital signalling, wherein the digital signalling comprises a plurality of digital-values; a digital processor that populates a 2-dimensional array of bin-values based on the digital-values, such that: a first axis of the 2-dimensional array is a fast time axis and a second axis of the 2-dimensional array is a slow time axis; and a sampling-rate-adjuster that is configured to set a sampling rate associated with the bin-values in the 2-dimensional array based on an index of the slow time axis. The digital processor also performs DFT calculations on the bin-values in the 2-dimensional array along the fast time axis and the slow time axis in order to determine the range and velocity of any detected objects.

  • Patent number: 10447523
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an IQ mismatch correction module for a radio receiver, the IQ mismatch correction module comprising: an input terminal configured to receive an input signal; an output terminal configured to provide a filtered output signal; a mismatch detection module comprising: one or more bandpass filters configured to receive, from the input terminal or output terminal, a bandpass input signal and to pass a plurality of sub-bands of the bandpass input signal to provide respective bandpass filtered signals; one or more amplitude and phase mismatch detectors configured to determine amplitude and phase mismatch coefficients based on the bandpass filtered signals from the plurality of sub-bands; a transformation unit configured to apply a transformation to the amplitude and phase mismatch coefficients to provide correction filter coefficients for the plurality of sub-bands; and a filter module configured to: receive the filter coefficients for the plurality of sub-bands from the mismatch detection m
