| Cestimator_cw | This block estimates the velocity from given peaks of a CW spectrum. The estimator looks for a f32vector tagged with a 'frequency' identifier (symbol) and calculates the velocity with the doppler formula. The identifier (symbol) of the output data is 'velocity'. Needed identifier (symbols) of the input are 'frequency' |
| Cestimator_cw_impl | |
| Cestimator_fmcw | This block estimates range and veloicty from peaks of a FMCW spectrum. Input messages are data with the identifier 'frequency' of the up-chirp, down-chirp and CW part. If data is available on all three message ports the estimation starts. The velocity is estimated with the frequency information of the CW block and the range is estimated with the up and down chirp. If multiple frequencies are given, the velocity is estimated first and associated with the most likely range from the up- and down-chirp. The output identifiers are 'range' and 'velocity' |
| Cestimator_fmcw_impl | |
| Cestimator_fsk | This block estimates the range with peaks given from a FSK spectrum. Needed identifiers (symbols) are 'frequency' and 'phase'. The velocity is calculated with the 'frequency' information and the doppler formula. The phase of the doppler peaks are used to estimate the range. Output identifier are 'range' and 'velocity'. If push_power is true the information about the power of the peaks is pushed through. This can be used for estimating the RCS of an object |
| Cestimator_fsk_impl | |
| Cestimator_ofdm | This block evaluates the peaks given from a OFDM matrix. Input are the bins of the peaks with the identifiers 'axis_x' and 'axis_y'. The parameters of the block axis_x and axis_y are vectors which define the mapping of the axis. If two values are given it is assumed a linear progression in between. If four values are given the middle values are set on half of the axis and it is interpolated linear in between. len_x and len_y gives the length of the axis in number of bins. symbol_x and symbol_y defines the identifier (symbols) for the output data. merge_consecutive toggles merging consecutive peaks. Each peak is compared with peaks in a range of one bin. If there is a peak with a higher power the actual bin is not used for evaluations. If merge_consecutive is true data with identifier 'power' is needed |
| Cestimator_ofdm_impl | |
| Cestimator_rcs | Basic RCS block for estimating the RCS of a single target. Some hardware specs need to be known for calculating RCS values, see parameters for details. The radar equation is used to calculate the RCS: RCS = Pr*(4pi)^3*R^4/(Pt*Gt*Gr*lamda^2). The Rx power (Pr) and the distance (R) are being estimated, while the other parameters are given in the flowgraph. It is possible to average a number of samples by setting the num_mean value > 1. The RCS will be 0 until enough samples are collected to calculate the mean value (be patient). The Tx power (Pt) needs to be calibrated with external hardware. I recommend to calibrate for the wanted power and not to change the parameters in the flowgraph on the Tx side after that. The RCS block needs the Rx power, to estimate the RCS. For that, the input power of the block needs to be determined analytically and altered via the corr_factor and exponent values, to fit the following equation: Pr = P_input ^ (exponent) * corr_factor / Pt. In addition, the FFTs need to be normalized for correct power calculation |

| Cestimator_sync_pulse_c | This block can be used to estimate the shift of a signal on input 1 in relation to an other on input 2.

The number of correlations in samples is given with num_xcorr. The output message is the number of delay samples with the identifier (symbol) 'sync_pulse'. This can be displayed with the 'Print Results' block |

Output is a message with the information of frequency, phase and power of the peak as a f32vector with a single item. All data is tagged with the identifiers (symbols) 'frequency', 'phase' and 'power'. The peak is estimated on the whole spectrum or on the range max_freq if cut_max_freq is true. Furthermore a threshold of the spectrum amplitude can be given with threshold. The DC peak can be cut out with the protected samples samp_protect. This value do not evaluate samp_protect samples around the DC peak. If no suitable peak is found the block returns empty vectors with the identifiers |

Input has to be a matrix with linear scaled values (NOT logarithmic scaled!). Used algorithm is a 2D OS-CFAR algorithm. The algorithm uses around the cell under test (CUT) on each side samp_compare samples to estimate the noise floor. samp_protect is a protected are around the CUT which is not used for acquiring compare samples. Index 0 of a input vector refers to x axis properties and index 1 refers to y axis properties. The relative threshold is defined by the bin of the vector within the sorted samp_compare samples. A standard value is rel_threshold = 0.78. The value of this bin is multiplied by mult_threshold and compared with the CUT. If the magnitude square of the CUT is greater than the threshold the matrix item is accepted. Used identifiers (symbols) for data are 'axis_x', 'axis_y' and 'power' |
