DMA TECHNIQUES FOR READING 3D DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18183317 titled 'DMA TECHNIQUES FOR READING 3D DATA
The abstract describes a radar system that utilizes a radio frequency receiver to capture radar data from multiple antennas. This data is then processed using a fast Fourier transform circuit to generate a stream of complex values, including Range-Doppler coordinate pairs for each antenna. The system also includes a memory to store 3D radar data and a Direct Memory Access circuit for efficient data transfer.

Original Abstract Submitted
A radar system includes a radio frequency (RF) receiver configured to receive radar data at a plurality of receive antennae. A fast Fourier transform (FFT) circuit is coupled to the RF receiver. The FFT circuit is configured to perform a FFT on the radar data to provide a stream of complex values. The stream of complex values includes a plurality of Range-Doppler coordinate pairs that pertain to the plurality of receive antennae. A memory is coupled to the FFT circuit. The memory is configured to store three-dimensional (3D) radar data. A Direct Memory Access circuit (DMA) is coupled to the memory.
