Abstract
A radar device is disclosed including an input DMA module, at least one processing module, and an output DMA module. The input DMA module is arranged to access a memory and supply data from the memory to the at least one processing module, wherein each of the processing modules is arranged to be enabled or disabled. The at least one processing module that is enabled is arranged to process at least a portion of the data supplied by the input DMA module, and the output DMA module is arranged to store the data that are processed by the at least one processing module that is enabled in the memory. Also, a method for processing data by a radar device is provided.
Claims13
A radar device, comprising:
- an input DMA module implemented at least partially in hardware,
- at least one processing module implemented at least partially in hardware, and
- an output DMA module implemented at least partially in hardware,
- wherein the input DMA module is configured to access a memory and supply data from the memory to the at least one processing module,
- wherein each of the processing modules is configured to be selectively enabled or disabled,
- wherein the at least one processing module that is enabled is configured to process at least a portion of the data supplied by the input DMA module, and
- wherein the output DMA module is configured to store the data, that are processed by the at least one processing module that is enabled, in the memory.
A method for processing data by a radar device, wherein the radar device comprises an input DMA module implemented at least partially in hardware, at least one processing module implemented at least partially in hardware, and an output DMA module implemented at least partially in hardware, the method comprising:
- accessing via the input DMA module a memory and supplying data from the memory to the at least one processing module,
- enabling or disabling each of the processing modules,
- processing at least a portion of the data supplied by the input DMA module by the at least one processing module that is enabled, and
- storing via the output DMA module the data in the memory, which data are processed by the at least one processing module that is enabled.
A non-transitory computer program product directly loadable into a memory of a digital processing device, comprising software code portions for processing data by a radar device, wherein the radar device comprises an input DMA module implemented at least partially in hardware, at least one processing module implemented at least partially in hardware, and an output DMA module implemented at least partially in hardware, wherein upon execution of the software code portions is configured to perform a method, the method comprising:
- accessing via the input DMA module the memory or another memory and supplying data from the memory or the another memory to the at least one processing module,
- enabling or disabling each of the processing modules,
- processing at least a portion of the data supplied by the input DMA module by the at least one processing module that is enabled, and
- storing via the output DMA module the data in the memory or another memory, which data are processed by the at least one processing module that is enabled.
