Interference Mitigation for Automotive FMCW Radar Based on Contrastive Learning With Dilated Convolution

As one of the crucial sensors for environment sensing, frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radars are widely used in modern vehicles for driving assistance/autonomous driving. However, the limited frequency bandwidth and the increasing number of equipped radar sensors would inevitably cause mutual interference, degrading target...

An MTI-Like Approach for Interference Mitigation in FMCW Radar Systems

Mutual interference between automotive frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar systems has been a concern over recent years. Several interference mitigation (IM) techniques have been proposed to mitigate this phenomenon, which is deemed to grow in severity as more systems are deployed on the road. In this article, an inexpensive...

Smoothed Phase-Coded FMCW: Waveform Properties and Transceiver Architecture

Smoothed phase-coded frequency modulated continuous waveform (SPC-FMCW), which is aimed to improve the coexistence of multiple radars operating within the same frequency bandwidth, is studied, and the receiving strategy with a low analog-to-digital converter sampling requirement is investigated. The Gaussian filter is applied to obtain smooth...

Adaptive and Fast Combined Waveform-Beamforming Design for MMWave Automotive Joint Communication-Radar

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) joint communication-radar (JCR) will enable high data rate communication and high-resolution radar sensing for applications such as autonomous driving. Prior JCR systems that are based on the mmWave communications hardware, however, suffer from a limited angular field-of-view and low estimation accuracy for radars due...

Doppler Influence on Waveform Orthogonality in 79GHz MIMO Phase-Coded Automotive Radar

Utilization of phase-coded waveforms in automotive MIMO radars for short to medium range applications is studied. Performances of three most-promising binary code families (Gold, APAS and ZCZ sequences) are compared. Design tradeoffs of practical implementation of phased-coded waveforms for MIMO radar are analyzed for the first time for a...
