Intrinsic noise characterizations for increased radar sensor sensitivity

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, are configurable to cause the processors to:

• receive a reference signal from a signal generation architecture;
• store a pre-selected number of cycles of the reference signal;
• perform at least one spectrum calculation on the stored reference signal to generate a spectrum representation;
• perform component analysis operations on the spectrum representation to generate a set of coefficients;
• perform non-linear classification on the set of coefficients to determine collection cycle parameters;
• and
• estimate noise parameters utilizing the coefficients and the collection cycle parameters.

A system comprising:

• a memory system;
• and
• one or more hardware processors coupled with the memory system, the one or more processors to:

• store a pre-selected number of cycles of the reference signal;
• perform at least one spectrum calculation on the stored reference signal to generate a spectrum representation;
• perform component analysis operations on the spectrum representation to generate a set of coefficients;
• perform non-linear classification on the set of coefficients to determine collection cycle parameters;
• and
• estimate noise parameters utilizing the coefficients and the collection cycle parameters.
