    Abstract: A frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar system that includes a transceiver coupled to an analog to digital converter (ADC), and a digital signal processor (DSP) coupled to the ADC. The transceiver is configured to transmit a plurality of FMCW chirps, receive a plurality of reflected FMCW chirps, and mix the plurality of reflected FMCW chirps with at least one of the FMCW chirps to generate a plurality of beat signals. The reflected FMCW chirps are the FMCW chirps after being reflected off of a target object. The ADC is configured to convert the beat signals into a plurality of digital chirps. The DSP is configured to receive the digital chirps and quantify a plurality of vibration parameters for the target object based on a comparison of phase information in a frequency domain between one of the plurality of FMCW chirps and one of the plurality of digital chirps.

    Abstract: A set of radar data is organized as a two dimensional (2D) array with multiple lines of data. A 2D cross point analysis is performed on each set of data to detect objects in range of the radar system. A set of candidate objects is identified by performing an initial one dimensional (1D) analysis on a line of data along a first axis of the set if data to determine a candidate location of each candidate object along the first axis; however, the set of candidate objects may include false objects. The set of candidate objects is pruned by performing a cross 1D analysis of the data along a second axis of the set of data at a position corresponding to each candidate location along the first axis to select a set of most likely candidate objects from the set of candidate objects.

    Abstract: An FMCW radar is used to detect live objects by processing the matched, filtered radar return on a frame by frame basis. An FFT cross correlation coefficient is computed, followed by computing a modified geometric mean of the absolute value of the cross correlation coefficients. The modified geometric mean is then compared to a preset threshold to determine whether the object is moving or is stationary.
