Abstract: A vehicle-based method of determining the extent to which a target object is a single point scattering center is provided, wherein the vehicle comprises a radar system including at least one radar transmit element adapted to send a radar signal towards the target object, and a plurality of receiver channels (elements or antennas), each being adapted to receive radar signals reflected from the target object. According to the method, a radar signal is transmitted from the at least one radar transmit element to the target object, and signals being reflected by the target object are received at the receiver channels. A frequency transformation of the reflected signals is performed in order to create a range-Doppler map for each of the plurality of receiver channels. Furthermore, a beam vector is generated by selecting a respective value from each of the range-Doppler maps as an element of the beam vector corresponding to a respective receiver channel. The beam vector is processed by a Fourier transform and a peak amplitude from the Fourier transform is calculated. Finally, a reference value is calculated which depends on the elements of the beam vector, and the peak amplitude is compared with the reference value in order to determine the extent to which the target object is a single point scattering center.

Abstract: A method is provided for calibrating a radar sensor. According to the method, a plurality of radar detections is acquired via the radar sensor, and an angle of arrival is determined for each of the radar detections. Equidistant bins of an electric angle are defined which are related to the angle of arrival, and the radar detections are assigned to the equidistant bins of the electric angle. Based on the assignment, a reconstructed array manifold is determined for calibrating the radar sensor.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and a system for estimating a radar calibration matrix. According to the method, an initial calibration matrix is received, and via a radar sensor, radar detections are acquired from the external environment of the radar sensor. A plurality of beam vectors is determined which are derived from the radar detections, and a correction matrix is estimated based on the plurality of beam vectors. The initial calibration matrix and the correction matrix are combined in order to estimate a refined radar calibration matrix which is utilized as calibration matrix when applying the radar sensor.
