• Abstract: Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar systems traditionally rely on Fourier-based methods, such as the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), to estimate target range and velocity. While computationally efficient, these approaches require storing and processing large blocks of data, which can become a bottleneck in memory-constrained or low-latency applications. In this work, we propose a neuromorphic-inspired signal processing method based on adaptive resonate-and-fire (ARF) neurons formulated as a discrete-time dynamical system. Each neuron dynamically adjusts its internal frequency to match dominant frequency components of the input radar signal, enabling direct estimation of target ranges and velocities without computing the full frequency spectrum. The proposed model operates in a sample-by-sample fashion, resulting in memory requirements that scale with the number of tracked targets rather than the signal length. A feedback mechanism is also introduced to enable multiple neurons to lock on distinct frequency components in multi-target cases. Results on simulated and experimental data demonstrate that the method can successfully track multiple targets. Compared to conventional FFT-based approaches, the proposed method offers reduced memory usage proportional only to the number of tracked targets, making it suitable for resource-constrained and edge-based radar applications.

  Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) have recently gained attention as a powerful approach for continuously representing signals such as images, videos, and 3D shapes using multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) Low-frequency details are known to exhibit a low-frequency bias, limiting their ability to capture high-frequency details accurately. We propose frequency shifting (or FreSh) to align the frequency spectrum of the initial output with that of the target signal.
