Frequency nonlinearity calibration in frequency-modulated continuous wave radar

摘要

Various embodiments include methods and systems having a frequency-modulated continuous wave radar operable to compensate a return signal for nonlinearity in the associated radar signal that is transmitted. The radar signal can be mixed with a delayed version of the radar signal such that the mixed signal can be used to generate an estimate of the nonlinearity. The estimate can be used to compensate the return signal from an object that reflects the associated transmitted radar signal. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods can be implemented in a variety of applications.
