Abstract
Techniques and apparatuses are described that enable low-power radar. The described techniques enable a radar system to reduce overall power consumption, thereby facilitating incorporation and utilization of the radar system within power-limited devices. Power consumption is reduced through customization of the transmission or processing of radar signals within the radar system. During transmission, different duty cycles, transmit powers, or framing structures can be utilized to collect appropriate data based on detected activity in an external environment. During processing, different hardware or different radar pipelines can be utilized to appropriately analyze the radar data. Instead of disabling the radar system, the described techniques enable the radar system to continuously monitor a dynamic environment and maintain responsiveness while conserving power.
