  • Publication number: 20240137135
    Abstract: A method for determining a nonlinearity characteristic of a receiver path includes generating a set of N×M digital samples by repeating N times selecting an scaling factor from a set of N scaling factors, generating a version of a test signal, the version of the test signal corresponding to a test signal scaled by the respective scaling factor, processing the respective version of the test signal in at least a part of the receiver path to generate a respective processed signal, and storing M digital samples corresponding to the respective processed signal. Fourier-transformed data are generated using at least a portion of the set of N×M digital samples and a nonlinearity characteristic of the receiver path is determined based on the Fourier-transformed data.

  • Publication number: 20240134002
    Abstract: A radar device may generate an integrated range-velocity map by combining data from a plurality of range-velocity maps. Each range-velocity map may be associated with a respective radar channel from a plurality of radar channels. The radar device may identify a first peak in the integrated range-velocity map. The first peak may indicate one or more radar targets in the integrated range-velocity map and being identified by a first bin having a first range-velocity bin index. The radar device may determine a first data set by extracting, from each range-velocity map, data that is included in a respective bin associated with the first range-velocity bin index. The radar device may process the first data set to determine a first set of phase imbalances associated with the plurality of radar channels.

  • Patent number: 11781639
    Abstract: An oil management system for a vehicle includes a differential housing, a transmission housing, a lubricant tank, a suction line, a lubricant pump, and an air suction pump. The transmission housing is connected to the differential housing in an air-tight manner, and a lubricant through-passage is defined between the transmission housing and the differential housing. The lubricant tank is provided in the differential housing and has a lubricant suction opening in a lower region. The lubricant pump conveys lubricant from the lubricant tank through the suction line and conducts the lubricant to the lubrication points in the differential housing and the transmission housing. The air suction pump pumps air from the lubricant tank into the transmission housing so that an excess air pressure is maintained in the transmission housing.
