  • Radar signal modulator with bandwidth compensation and frequency offset sequence
    Patent number: 11454715
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for generating a frequency hopping radar signal. In one example, a radar signal modulator include a frequency offset generator, a phase locked loop, and a bandwidth compensation circuitry. The frequency offset generator is configured to generate a sequence of frequency offsets. The bandwidth compensation circuitry is configured to combine a modulation signal and the sequence of frequency offsets to generate a bandwidth compensated signal. The PLL is configured to receive the bandwidth compensated signal and generate a frequency hopping radar signal based on the bandwidth compensated signal.
