Abstract: A radar transceiver may include a noise canceller. The noise canceller may include a phase shifter circuit, a variable gain amplifier, and a coupler circuit. The phase shifter circuit may shift (i) a phase of a modulated signal, (ii) a phase of an original signal, or (iii) a phase of a signal generated by a noise cancellation signal generator circuit having a frequency corresponding to a frequency of a reflected signal which is reflected by an obstacle. The variable gain amplifier may amplify or attenuate a noise cancellation signal. The coupler circuit may couple the noise cancellation signal with a received signal from a receiver. An amplitude of the noise cancellation signal may be controlled by a controller via the variable gain amplifier. A phase shift amount of the noise cancellation signal may be controlled by the controller via the phase shifter circuit.
