US Patent 11204410 Radar-based communication

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a method and/or apparatus involving frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar signals. As my be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, receiver circuitry is configured and arranged to receive a FMCW radar signal having an information signal embedded into a radar waveform, and to indicate a relationship in the FMCW radar signal between beat frequency magnitude and time delay. A filter processing circuit is configured and arranged to filter the information signal in the FMCW radar signal by applying a group delay function based on the relationship between beat frequency magnitude and time delay. Signal processing circuitry is configured and arranged to detect a remote object by using the filtered FMCW radar signal.
