radar-signal-processing
Parse raw radar I/Q captures (CW or FMCW mmWave) and produce a cleaned 1-D slow-time signal ready for motion or vital-signs analysis. Use when Claude needs to read interleaved I/Q binary, do a Range FFT on FMCW chirps, remove static clutter, pick a subject range bin, extract phase with unwrapping, or debug why a radar pipeline is returning garbage. Not for pulse/UWB range gating, MIMO beamforming, or Doppler-only gesture radar.

# Radar Signal Processing
Get from a raw binary I/Q capture to a clean 1-D phase trace that downstream vital-signs / motion analysis can consume.
## Pipeline (do every step in order)
1. **Parse binary I/Q to complex samples.** Use the JSON/YAML sidecar to determine format — never assume. See [references/iq-formats.md](references/iq-formats.md).
2. **(FMCW only) Range FFT across fast time** → 2-D range matrix. CW skips this step.
3. **Remove static clutter.** Subtract the temporal mean:
- CW: `iq -= iq.mean()`
- FMCW: `R -= R.mean(axis=0, keepdims=True)` on the range matrix
4. **(FMCW only) Pick the subject range bin.** See [references/range-bin.md](references/range-bin.md).
5. **Extract phase with unwrap:**
