    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to enabling a radar system to use different sensing mechanisms to estimate a distance from a target based on different detection zones (e.g., far-field and near-field). In an illustrative example, a curve fitting method may be applied for near-field sensing, and a Fourier transform may be used for far-field sensing. A predetermined set of rules may be applied to select when to use the near-field sensing mechanism and when to use the far-field mechanism. The frequency of a target signal within a beat signal that has less than two sinusoidal cycles may be estimated with improved accuracy. Accordingly, the distance of a target that is within a predetermined distance range (e.g., two meters range for 24 GHz ISM band limitation) may be reliably estimated.

    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to detection systems with chatter-mitigated output indication. In an illustrative example, a sensor may generate a detection signal as a function of a physical relationship of a target to the sensor. A control circuit may, for example, generate a control signal in response to the detection signal and as a function of a predetermined indication response profile defining a transition threshold for each of multiple nominal transition points. A light-emitting indicator array may, for example, generate spatially distributed indication in response to the control signal. The indication may, for example, change from a first spatial distribution to a second spatial distribution in response to the detection signal crossing a first nominal transition point by at least a corresponding transition threshold (δ1i). Various embodiments may, for example, advantageously prevent the visual indication from responding to perturbations in the detection signal.
