Patent number: 11035944Abstract: Various techniques are provided to efficiently detect the position and angular velocity of an object relative to a compact radar system including a transmitter antenna array and a receiver antenna array. In one example, a method includes repeatedly scanning a transmitter antenna array and a receiver antenna array of an object sensing system through a plurality of designated transmitter and receiver channels over a period of time to generate a time series of measured channel responses corresponding to each one of the designated channels, determining a time series of directional vectors to or from an object scanned by at least one of the designated channels, and/or a corresponding time series of average phase differences, based, at least in part, on the time series of measured channel responses, and determining an angular velocity of the object from the time series of directional vectors and/or the corresponding time series of average phase differences.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2020Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Sanghoek Kim, Stephen Bennett, Ricky Keangpo Ho, Shi Cheng, Sohrab Emami, Ou Yang
