摘要

This paper presents a 77-GHz long-range automotive radar transceiver with the function of reducing mutual interference. The proposed frequency-hopping random chirp FMCW technique reconfigures the chirp sweep frequency and time every cycle to result in noise-like frequency response for mutual interference after the received signal is down-converted and demodulated. Thus, the false alarm rate can be reduced significantly. The transceiver IC is fully integrated in TSMC 1P9M 65-nm digital CMOS technology. The chip including pads occupies a silicon area of 1.03 mm X 0.94 mm. The transceiver consumes totally 275 mW of power, and the measured transmitting power and receiver noise figure are 6.4 dBm and 14.8 dB, respectively. To the authors%26apos; knowledge, this is the first integrated 77-GHz automotive radar transceiver with the feature of anti-interference.
