Abstract
Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement a smart-device-based radar system capable of performing symmetric Doppler interference mitigation. The radar system employs symmetric Doppler interference mitigation to filter interference artifacts caused by the vibration of the radar system or the vibration other objects. This filtering operation incorporates the interference artifact within the noise floor, without significantly attenuating reflections from a desired object. This mitigation can filter each radar frame independently without a priori knowledge about the frequency or amplitude of the vibration. The filtering operation is also independent of the Doppler sampling frequency and can handle aliasing. By filtering the interference artifacts, the radar system produces fewer false detections in the presence of vibrations and can detect objects that would otherwise be masked by the interference artifact.
