Abstract

The signal delivered by a Doppler sensor is treated after amplification, filtering and digitization by: means for determining the global energy of the digitized signal; autocorrelation test means for showing up a dominant frequency; a filter for rejecting that frequency; comparators for eliminating signals having energy less than a threshold; a filter for isolating a particular frequency band; and means for intercorrelation with a reference signal held in memory.
