The end portion corresponds with the pseudo-extension, and the narrow block corresponds with the payload data. The receiver cascades multiple narrow equalized blocks to form a de-ghosted signal stream of OFDM symbols.

  • Patent number: 11474225
    Abstract: A chip-implementation of a millimeter wave MIMO radar comprises transmitters for transmitting short bursts of digitally modulated radar carrier signals and receivers for receiving delayed echoes of those signals. Various signal formats defined by the number of bits per transmit burst, the transmit burst duration, the receive period duration, the bitrate, the number of range bins, and the number of bursts per scan, facilitate the choice of modulating bit patterns such that when correlating for target echoes over an entire scan, the correlation codes for different ranges and different transmitters are mutually orthogonal or nearly so. In the event of imperfect orthogonality, simple orthogonalization schemes are revealed, such as subtraction of strong already-detected target signals for better detecting weaker signals or moving targets that are rendered non-orthogonal by their Doppler shift.

An output of the 1st-round operation in the N rounds of operations is determined based on the modulated signal and an output that is of the Nth-round operation and that is processed by a first delay circuit, and an output of the ith-round operation in the N rounds of operations is determined based on an output of the (i?1)th-round operation and an output that is of the Nth-round operation and that is processed by a second delay circuit, where i is an integer greater than 1 and less than or equal to N.

  • Patent number: 11133890
    Abstract: Adaptive multi-standard signal classification and synchronization is disclosed. Devices, systems and methods include an auto-correlation bank and a signal classifier to efficiently and reliably distinguish signals of wireless protocols, such as Bluetooth, 1 megabit-per-second (Mbps) Bluetooth low energy (BLE), 2 Mbps BLE, long range (LR) BLE, ZigBee (ZB), high-rate ZB, and so on. The auto-correlation bank includes a set of auto-correlators with different delays, which facilitate distinguishing between the different wireless protocols. Exemplary aspects can further distinguish and/or compensate for interference sources, such as WiFi, constant wave (CW) clock sources, and so on. In some examples, a frequency offset of an incoming signal can be output for further signal processing. In a parallel path, a cross-correlation circuit facilitates synchronization to the incoming signal based on a signal type identified by the signal classifier.

  • Patent number: 11074458
    Abstract: A system and method for searching a video stream collected by a camera in a video surveillance system for an object's placement or displacement is disclosed. The searching includes an interactive question/answer approach that allows for a video snippet including the object's placement or displacement to be found quickly without the need for complicated video analytics. During the search, frames from algorithmically selected points in the video stream are presented to a user for review. The user reviews each frame and indicates if he/she sees the object. Based on the user's response the searching algorithmically reduces the portion video stream that is searched until a snippet of a video is found that includes the object's placement or displacement.

    Abstract: A method of using a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) antenna array for high-resolution radar imaging and wireless communication for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) utilizes a MIMO radar and at least one base station. The MIMO radar establishes wireless communication with the base station via an uplink signal. Likewise, the base station sends a downlink signal to the MIMO radar. Further, unlike conventional vehicle-to-everything (V2X) systems that filter the reflected uplink signal, the MIMO radar uses the reflected uplink signal to detect a plurality of targets. Accordingly, the MIMO radar derives spatial positioning data for each target from the reflected uplink signal.
