    Abstract: A signal generation circuit, a radar apparatus, and a signal control method are provided. The signal generation circuit includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and a mixer. The DAC is configured to convert an input digital signal into two signals in a first mode. A coding content of the input digital signal includes multiple bits. The mixer is coupled to the DAC to respectively input the two signals converted from the input digital signal to two input ports of the mixer in the first mode, to generate an output signal. An output power of the output signal corresponding to the input digital signal having a first coding content is different from an output power of the output signal corresponding to the input digital signal having a second coding content. An intensity of the output signal is related to a voltage difference between the two signals converted from the input digital signal.

The frequency modulated continuous wave radar device includes a transmitter stage circuit, a frequency synthesizer, a receiver stage circuit, a pre-stage circuit, and a signal processing circuit. The transmitter stage circuit transmits a transmitting signal. The frequency synthesizer generates the transmitting signal associated with a chirp period. The receiver stage circuit receives a receiving signal including a periodic interference signal with a noise period associated with the chirp period. The pre-stage circuit outputs a to-be-processed signal including multiple frames according to the receiving signal and the transmitting signal. The signal processing circuit groups the frames into multiple frame groups. The signal processing circuit generates a processed signal by sampling at least one frame from the multiple frames in each of the frame groups with an identical sampling rule.
