Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and systems having detection apparatus operable to cancel or reduce leakage signal originating from a source signal being generated and transmitted from a transmitter. A leakage cancellation signal can be generated digitally, converted to an analog signal, and then subtracted in the analog domain from a received signal to provide a leakage-reduced signal for use in detection and analysis of objects. A digital cancellation signal may be generated by generating a cancellation signal in the frequency domain and converting it to the time domain. Optionally, an estimate of a residual leakage signal can be generated and applied to reduce residual leakage remaining in the leakage-reduced signal. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods can be implemented in a variety of applications.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement electromagnetic vector sensors (EMVS) for a smart-device-based radar system. Instead of including an antenna array of similar antenna elements, the radar system includes two or more electromagnetic vector sensors. At least one of the electromagnetic vector sensors is used for transmission and at least another of the electromagnetic vector sensors is used for reception. Each electromagnetic vector sensor includes a group of antennas with different antenna patterns, orientations, and/or polarizations. An overall footprint of the two electromagnetic vector sensors (e.g., one for transmission and one for reception) can be smaller than antenna arrays used by other radar systems, thereby enabling the radar system to be implemented within space-constrained devices.

Abstract: A radar system transmits pulses towards a target and receives pulses reflected back therefrom. Based on samples (of the received pulses) corresponding to a CPI, a first 2D matrix having a slow-time index and a fast-time index is generated. A slow-time FFT is performed to convert the slow-time index to a Doppler bin index to produce a second 2D matrix having the Doppler bin index and the fast-time index. Thereafter, a 1D interpolation is performed along the Doppler bin index to produce a third 2D matrix having a Velocity bin index and the fast-time index. Thereafter, a fast-time FFT is performed to convert the fast-time index to a Range bin index to produce a fourth 2D matrix having the Velocity bin index and a Range bin index. A distance to and a velocity of a target is determined based on the fourth 2D matrix.

The estimate can be used to compensate the return signal from an object that reflects the associated transmitted radar signal.

Abstract: Rake receivers in code division multiple access (CDMA) telecommunication comprise fingers (1,2,3) with each finger processing signal components for a particular transmission path to be able to better synchronize with a RF signal received via different paths, and a combiner (4) for combining the results originating from said fingers, and a compensator in the form of a controlled oscillator in a feedback loop. By locating a finger compensator (20-25) in a finger, said finger can handle complex situations, like Doppler shifts under high-speed conditions. Preferably, most or all fingers each comprise such a finger compensator, in which case said feedback loop can be avoided. Such a finger compensator can be hardware, software or a mixture of both when comprising a filter (21) plus an amplitude normalizer (22) between two arithmetical modules (20,25) for multiplying an input symbol signal with a conjugated previous input symbol signal and an output symbol signal with a previous output symbol signal.
