Patent number: 11668796Abstract: A method is proposed for determining at least one calibration parameter for a radar system having a first radar transceiver and a second radar transceiver. The method includes performing a first calibration measurement and a second calibration measurement. The first calibration measurement and the second calibration measurement both include generating a first frequency-modulated oscillation signal and a second frequency-modulated oscillation signal, and combining the first oscillation signal received via the second terminal with the second oscillation signal, in order to generate a first difference signal for the first calibration measurement and a second difference signal for the second calibration measurement, both having a frequency difference between the first oscillation signal and the second oscillation signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2020Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Infineon Technologies AGInventors: Philipp Scherz, Markus Josef Lang, Roland Vuketich

Patent number: 7391270Abstract: A phase locked loop is disclosed and includes a frequency divider circuit with a settable division ratio in a feedback path. The division ratio is produced using a control circuit which, besides an input for supplying the integer and fractional components for the frequency division ratio which is to be set, includes an input for supplying a phase correction signal. To produce the phase correction signal, the phase locked loop further includes a phase correction apparatus. The phase correction signal preferably contains a signal component with an exponential profile, and is supplied to the control circuit for producing a frequency division ratio for the frequency divider circuit such that it compensates for a phase drift in the output signal from the voltage controlled oscillator in the phase locked loop.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2005Date of Patent: June 24, 2008Assignee: Infineon Technologies AGInventors: Burkhard Neurauter, Günter Märzinger, Christian Münker, Roland Vuketich
