ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 8 -- United States Patent no. 12,436,245, issued on Oct. 7, was assigned to VELODYNE LIDAR USA INC. (San Jose, Calif.).

"Linearization of chirp in coherent lidar systems" was invented by Sunil Khatana (Sunnyvale, Calif.) and Tyler Banas (Alameda, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Disclosed herein are systems and methods for linearizing frequency chirp in a frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) coherent LiDAR system. Exemplary methods can include generating a continuous wave laser signal having a frequency characteristic, in which the frequency characteristic can include a frequency chirp over a frequency band in at least one period; and receiving a signal based ...
