Abstract: This disclosure describes presence-detection devices that detect movement of a person by emitting ultrasonic signals into an environment, and characterizing the change in the frequency, or the Doppler shift, of the reflections of the ultrasonic signals off the person caused by the movement of the person. The techniques include downsampling the audio signals from the carrier frequency range down to a frequency range with a center frequency around 0 Hz. A filter is applied to attenuate signals around 0 Hz and below (or above), such as the emitted signals. In addition to removing the emitted signals, the negative side (or positive side) of the audio signals are removed, but the Doppler shift is still represented in the remaining portion of the audio signals. By removing a portion of the audio signals, the amount of processing required to detect the Doppler shift in the reflections of the ultrasonic signals is reduced.
