Abstract
Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement a smart device with an integrated radar system. The radar integrated circuit is positioned towards an upper-middle portion of a smart device to facilitate gesture recognition and reduce a false-alarm rate associated with other non-gesture related motions of a user. The radar integrated circuit is also positioned away from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) antennas and a wireless charging receiver coil to reduce interference. The radar system operates in a low-power mode to reduce power consumption and facilitate mobile operation of the smart device. By limiting a footprint and power consumption of the radar system, the smart device can include other desirable features in a space-limited package (e.g., a camera, a fingerprint sensor, a display, and so forth).
