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.

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.

This article is part of the TechXchange: Automotive Radar. The primary goal of using radar in the automotive industry is to facilitate object detection for cars. Simple continuous-wave radar devices ...

imec recently announced what it claims is the world’s first CMOS 140GHz radar-on-chip system with integrated antennas in standard 28nm technology. This kind of advanced semiconductor technology is ...

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 ...

Imec has built and tested a proof-of-concept photonics-enabled code-division multiplexing (CDM) frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) 144GHz distributed radar system that ensures coherent chirps ...

Sensors. The low-end stuff that we can get our hands on usually suffers from poor range, lack of sensitivity, and no way to characterize what the target is. But today we can use the good stuff that, ...

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 ...
