Publication number: 20230216528Abstract: A device comprises a digital ramp generator, an oscillator, a power amplifier, a low-noise amplifier (LNA), a mixer, and an intermediate frequency amplifier (IFA). The oscillator generates a chirp signal based on an output from the digital ramp generator. The power amplifier receives the chirp signal and outputs an amplified chirp signal to a transmitter antenna. The LNA receives a reflected chirp signal from a receiver antenna. The mixer receives output of the LNA and combines it with the chirp signal from the oscillator. The IFA receives the mixer output signal and includes a configurable high-pass filter, which has a first cutoff frequency during a first portion of the chirp signal and a second cutoff frequency during a second portion of the chirp signal. In some implementations, the first cutoff frequency is chosen based on a frequency of a blocker signal introduced by couplings between the transmitter and receiver antennas.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2021Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventors: Karthik SUBBURAJ, Pranav SINHA, Mayank Kumar SINGH, Rittu SACHDEV, Karan Singh BHATIA, Shailesh JOSHI, Indu PRATHAPAN
