    Abstract: A method of determining an alignment error of an antenna is described, wherein the antenna is installed at a vehicle and in cooperation with a detection device, and wherein the detection device is configured to determine a plurality of detections. Determining the plurality of detections comprises emitting a first portion of electromagnetic radiation through the antenna, receiving a second portion of electromagnetic radiation through the antenna, and evaluating the second portion of electromagnetic radiation in dependence of the first portion of electromagnetic radiation in order to localize areas of reflection of the first portion of electromagnetic radiation in the vicinity of the antenna. The method comprises determining a first detection and at least a second detection by using the detection device, and determining the alignment error by means of a joint evaluation of the first detection and the second detection.

    Abstract: Described is a way to process radar data for a radar sensor mounted on a vehicle to generate motion spectrum data for estimating ego-motion information of the vehicle. Data samples of each of a plurality of radar return signals received at each antenna element of the radar sensor are generated for each antenna element. Respective Doppler-processed data including a plurality of data values is calculated for each Doppler bin index. In generating a set of motion spectrum data, which comprises a plurality of data elements each calculated for a respective Doppler bin index and a respective spatial bin index, data values of the Doppler-processed data calculated for the Doppler bin index are selected to calculate a covariance matrix. A spectral estimation algorithm, which uses the covariance matrix, can determine a spatial spectrum value for each spatial bin index.
