FMCW radar with frequency-hopping technique

A method comprising: generating a frequency-modulated local oscillator signal (sLO(t)) with a frame partitioned into N chirp positions, where N is a predetermined integer; wherein the frame contains a scan chirp at one or more chirp positions and regular chirps at the remaining chirp positions, the regular chirps having a chirp bandwidth and a start frequency (fSTART), and the at least one scan chirp having a scan bandwidth greater than the chirp bandwidth; transmitting an RF signal representing the frame, wherein the transmit power is zero or reduced to less than the power of a regular chirp during the transmission of the at least one scan chirp;Receiving an RF radar signal (yHF(t)) corresponding to the frame, down-converting the received RF radar signal (yHF(t)) to a baseband using the local oscillator signal (sLO(t)), and generating a digital signal (y[n]) based on the down-converted signal (y(t)); detecting first samples affected by interference in a portion of the digital signal (y[n]) corresponding to the scan chirp, and updating the start frequency (fSTART) for the regular chirps following the scan chirp based on the detected first samples; and detecting one or more radar targets based on the digital signal (y[n]), replacing the portion of the digital signal (y[n]) that does not correspond to the regular chirps with preset samples.

Method and apparatus to improve received signal strength indicator measurement at a receiver

ActiveUS12689455B2ConvertersControl theory
In one embodiment, a receiver includes: an analog front end (AFE) circuit to receive and process an incoming radio frequency (RF) analog signal comprising a packet; an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) coupled to the AFE circuit to receive and digitize an analog signal based on the RF analog signal into a digital signal; a packet detector coupled to the ADC to detect the packet based on the digital signal; and a computation circuit coupled to the packet detector. The computation circuit may be configured to determine a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value based at least in part on a portion of a preamble of the packet.
