Static target detection for rf sensing in full-duplex communication systems

A method of operating a communications transceiver system to detect static objects, the method comprising:

• transmitting radio frequency (RF) signals using a plurality of beams;
• receiving reflected RF signals, the reflected RF signals corresponding to at least a portion of the transmitted RF signals, transmitted at different angles using the plurality of beams, reflecting off an object;
• and
• determining a location of the object based at least in part on the reflected RF signals, wherein determining the location of the object comprises conducting self-interference mitigation.

A communications transceiver system for detecting static objects, the communications transceiver system comprising:

• a transceiver comprising a transmit (Tx) antenna and a receive (Rx) antenna;
• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors communicatively coupled with the transceiver and the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
• transmit radio frequency (RF) signals using the Tx antenna
• while transmitting the RF signals, perform a translational movement of either or both of the Tx antenna or the Rx antenna;
• receive, via the Rx antenna, reflected RF signals, the reflected RF signals corresponding to at least a portion of the transmitted RF signals reflecting off an object;
• and
• determine a location of the object based at least in part on the reflected RF signals, wherein determining the location of the object comprises:
• conduct self-interference mitigation;
• and
• provide compensation for the translational movement of either or both of the Tx antenna or the Rx antenna.
