RAVEN: Radar Adaptive Vision Encoders for Efficient Chirp-wise Object Detection and Segmentation
This paper presents RAVEN, a computationally efficient deep learning architecture for FMCW radar perception. The method processes raw ADC data in a chirp-wise streaming manner, preserves MIMO structure through independent receiver state-space encoders, and uses a learnable cross-antenna mixing module to recover compact virtual-array features. It also introduces an early-exit mechanism so the model can make decisions using only a subset of chirps when the latent state has stabilized. Across automotive radar benchmarks, the approach reports strong object detection and BEV free-space segmentation performance while substantially reducing computation and end-to-end latency compared with conventional frame-based radar pipelines.

Chirp Delay-Doppler Domain Modulation: A New Paradigm of Integrated Sensing and Communication for Autonomous Vehicles
Autonomous driving is reshaping the way humans travel, with millimeter wave (mmWave) radar playing a crucial role in this transformation to enabe vehicle-to-everything (V2X). Although chirp is widely used in mmWave radar…

Automotive radar perception pipelines commonly construct angle-domain representations via beamforming before applying learning-based models. This work instead investigates a representational question: can meaningful spat…
Generation of Realistic Synthetic Raw Radar Data for Automated Driving Applications using Generative Adversarial Networks
The main approaches for simulating FMCW radar are based on ray tracing, which is usually computationally intensive and do not account for background noise. This work proposes a faster method for FMCW radar simulation cap…

In this study, we propose a framework for chirp-based communications by exploiting discrete Fourier transform-spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM). We show that a well-designed frequency-domain …
Photonics-based de-chirping and leakage cancellation for frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar system
A photonics-based leakage cancellation and echo signal de-chirping approach for frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar systems is proposed based on a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM), with its performance ev…
