TLDR
In this paper, the received signal is convolved with a time-reversed copy of the transmitted random sequence to produce a correlogram, which is then analyzed to determine range to objects.
Abstract
Broadband signal transmissions may be used for object detection and/or ranging. Broadband transmissions may comprise a pseudo-random bit sequence or a bit sequence produced using, a random process. The sequence may be used to modulate transmissions of a given wave type. Various types of waves may be utilized, pressure, light, and radio waves. Waves reflected by objects within the sensing volume may be sampled. The received signal may be convolved with a time-reversed copy of the transmitted random sequence to produce a correlogram. The correlogram may be analyzed to determine range to objects. The analysis may comprise determination of one or more peaks/troughs in the correlogram. Range to an object may be determines based on a time lag of a respective peak.

Adaptive transmission and interference cancellation for MIMO radar

TL;DR: In this paper, the response after correlating with various possible transmitted signals is measured in order to estimate the interference that each transmitter will represent at each receiver, and the estimated effect of the interference from one transmitter on a receiver that correlates with a different code is used to mitigate the interference.

Slow feature analysis: unsupervised learning of invariances

TL;DR: Slow feature analysis (SFA) is a new method for learning invariant or slowly varying features from a vectorial input signal that is guaranteed to find the optimal solution within a family of functions directly and can learn to extract a large number of decor-related features, which are ordered by their degree of invariance.
