Patent number: 12292528Abstract: A method of processing radar signalling, the method comprising: receiving a mask (815) that represents samples in the radar signalling that are detected as including interference. The mask (815) comprises a matrix of data having a first dimension and a second dimension, wherein the first dimension represents a fast-time axis and the second dimension represents a slow-time axis. The method further comprises performing frequency analysis on the mask (815) across each of the fast-time axis and the slow-time axis of the mask in order to provide a range-Doppler processed mask (817); and deconvolving a range-Doppler map (813) of the received radar signalling using the range-Doppler processed mask (817) in order to provide a deconvolved-range-Doppler map (814).Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2022Date of Patent: May 6, 2025Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventors: Jeroen Overdevest, Arie Geert Cornelis Koppelaar, Francesco Laghezza

Publication number: 20250116754Abstract: A system and method are presented. A plurality of target objects are determined by a radar system. Each target object in the plurality of target objects is associated with a distance value and a velocity value. A power reduction factor is determined using the distance value and the velocity value associated with each target object of the plurality of target objects. A second radar signal is transmitted at a second power level determined by the power reduction factor.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2023Publication date: April 10, 2025Inventors: Ashish PANDHARIPANDE, Jeroen OVERDEVEST

Publication number: 20250076452Abstract: A system includes a transmitter configured to transmit a radar signal towards a target object. A receiver is configured to receive a received signal in response to the transmitted radar signal. The system includes a processor configured to receive, using the receiver, a received signal, execute an iterative procedure using a desired signal prior and an interference signal prior and to determine an estimate of an interference signal component of the received signal and an estimate of the desired signal component of the received signal, wherein the interference signal prior is determined using generative modeling and each iteration of the iterative procedure executes a data consistency operation, use the estimate of the interference signal component and the received signal to determine a desired signal, and processing the desired signal to determine an attribute of the target object.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2023Publication date: March 6, 2025Inventors: XINYI WEI, Ruud van SLOUN, Jihwan YOUN, Jun LI, Satish RAVINDRAN, Jeroen OVERDEVEST
