  • Patent number: 12164057
    Abstract: A radar detection method with receive antenna calibration includes: forming a detection matrix from signals detected by an arrangement of receive antennas in response to chirps transmitted by an arrangement of transmit antennas, the detection matrix having multiple rows corresponding to the chirps, multiple columns corresponding to a sample of the signals, and multiple planes corresponding the receive antennas; deriving a range matrix by performing a frequency transform on a portion of each row of the detection matrix; deriving a velocity matrix by performing a frequency transform on a portion of each column of the range matrix; deriving a direction-of-arrival matrix by performing a frequency transform on a portion of one or more layers of the velocity matrix; analyzing the direction-of-arrival matrix to determine a current peak width; and adjusting, based on the current peak width, phase shifts associated with one or more antennas.

  • Patent number: 11709226
    Abstract: A radar antenna calibration method includes: forming a detection matrix from signals detected by an arrangement of receive antennas in response to chirps transmitted by an arrangement of transmit antennas, the detection matrix having multiple rows corresponding to the chirps, multiple columns corresponding to a signal sample, and multiple planes corresponding the receive antennas; deriving a range matrix by performing a frequency transform on a portion of each row of the detection matrix; extracting a slice of the range matrix, with different rows of the slice being associated with different chirps and with different receive antennas; deriving a velocity matrix from the extracted slice by performing a frequency transform on a portion of each column of the extracted slice; analyzing the velocity matrix to determine a current peak width; and adjusting, based on the current peak width, phase shifts associated with one or more of the receive antennas.

  • Publication number: 20200292658
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology may comprise methods and apparatus for data compression and transmission. Embodiments the present technology transmit relevant data sub-cubes and compress and transmit non-relevant data sub-cubes. Relevant data sub-cubes may be those sub-cubes that contain detected target data and sub-cubes that are directly adjacent to the detected target data. Data contained in the directly adjacent sub-cubes that are overlapping/shared are only transmitted once.

  • Patent number: 10708524
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology comprise a method and apparatus for high dynamic range imaging. According to various embodiments, the method and apparatus for high dynamic range imaging is configured to select the “best” signal for each pixel location to construct an HDR output. In one embodiment, the “best” signal is select among various pixel signals and the pixel signal selected as the “best” signal is based on the value of the pixel signals and identification of non-saturated. If only one pixel value for a particular pixel location is non-saturated, then the “best” signal is the non-saturated signal. If more than one pixel value is non-saturated, then the “best” signal is the pixel signal with the greatest value. If two more pixel values are non-saturated and both have equally great values, then the “best” signal is the pixel signal with the shortest integration time.
