  • Patent number: 11422230
    Abstract: A method includes: receiving a reflected radar signal including a first radar chirp signal during a first chirp time period and a second radar chirp signal during a second chirp time period; downconverting the reflected radar signal to form a baseband signal; adding a DC offset to the baseband signal to form a DC offset baseband signal, adding the DC offset including adding a first DC offset to the baseband signal during the first chirp time period, and adding a second DC offset to the baseband signal during the second chirp time period, where the first DC offset is different from the second DC offset; and digitizing the DC offset baseband signal using an analog-to-digital converter to form a digitized baseband signal.
