US Patent Issued to Aptiv Technologies on May 5 for "Range and range rate estimation for stepped frequency waveform with constant pulse repetition period" (Indiana Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 5 -- United States Patent no. 12,618,969, issued on May 5, was assigned to Aptiv Technologies AG (Schaffhausen, Switzerland).

"Range and range rate estimation for stepped frequency waveform with constant pulse repetition period" was invented by Boyi Gao (Westfield, Ind.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems and methods are provided and include a radar system that transmits radar signals within frames having radar chirps. The radar chirps have a stepped frequency waveform such that the initial and end frequencies are changed for subsequent chirps and have a constant pulse repetition period between chirps. The radar system performs range fast Fourier transform (FFT) proces...
