How to optimize typical frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar range-Doppler signal processing algorithm kernels using both fixed- and floating-point computations on Cadence Tensilica DSPs.

Radar (acronym for Radio Detection and Ranging) uses radio waves to detect objects in the environment. It allows determining the distance (known as range), angular position (bearing), and velocity.

Imec has come up with a novel digitally calibrated charge-pump (CP) phase-locked loop (PLL) that can generate high-quality frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) signals for mmWave radars at low ...

Radar waveforms are classified into three categories based on the bandwidth of operation. With multiple waveforms available for use, such as FMCW and pulse-modulated, it’s imperative to decide on the ...

A ramp tracker creates the chirp signal, while paired NMOS and PMOS varactors correct frequency distortions. This hardware linearization method allows fast, accurate chirps with simpler circuits and ...

Pretty much every modern car has some driver assistance feature, such as lane departure and blind-spot warnings, or adaptive cruise control. They’re all pretty cool, and they all depend on the car ...
