  • Publication number: 20220260672
    Abstract: The disclosure provides systems, apparatuses, and techniques for operating automotive MIMO radars in crowded multi-path environments to obtain reliable detections by linearly predicting whether a bistatic condition occurred. To avoid saturating computing resources processing bistatic detections, the described techniques enable a radar system to quickly identify and discard from the field-of-view radar detections that are likely a result of bistatic conditions. By ignoring unusable radar returns that are likely a result of bistatic conditions, an example radar system can focus on processing radar returns from static conditions, for example, in providing radar-based detections as output to an automotive system that is driving a vehicle in an autonomous or a semi-autonomous mode. In so doing, the example radar system provides a highly accurate static object detector that is sufficiently quick in detecting bistatic conditions for use in vehicle-safety systems as well as autonomous and semi-autonomous control.

  • Publication number: 20220260708
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems of a radar system with an angle-finding process for sparse uniform arrays. The described radar system includes a processor and an antenna that can receive electromagnetic energy reflected by objects in the surrounding environment. The antenna includes a one-dimensional (1D) or two-dimensional (2D) sparse array. The processor can determine, using the received electromagnetic energy, a signal subspace associated with the objects that includes an invariance equation. Using an estimated solution to the invariance equation, the processor determines a solution to the invariance equation. The solution to the invariance equation is used to determine angular phases associated with the objects. The processor can then determine, using the angular phases, angles associated with the objects. In this way, the described angle-finding process enables the radar system with a sparse array to efficiently determine angles associated with objects without blind spots.

  • Patent number: 11415595
    Abstract: Single-axis teeter-totter accelerometers having a plurality of anchors are disclosed. The plurality of anchors may be arranged about a rotation axis of the teeter-totter proof mass. Each of the plurality of anchors may be coupled to the proof mass by two torsional springs each extending along the rotation axis. The plurality of anchors allows an increased number of torsional springs to be coupled to the proof mass and thus greater torsional stiffness for the proof mass may be achieved. Due to the higher torsional stiffness, the disclosed single-axis teeter-totter accelerometers may be deployed in high-frequency environments where such increased torsional stiffness is required, for example, around 20 kHz and above.
