    摘要: In a multibeam radar sensor apparatus having at least two transmission/reception channels, whose signal paths each include an antenna and a mixer, at least one first mixer is configured bidirectionally as a transfer mixer, and at least one second mixer is switchable from a first into a second operating state; in the first operating state, the mixer is bidirectionally configured as a transfer mixer, and in the second operating state, the mixer being configured in an at least approximately isolating manner as a receiving mixer. In addition, in a method for determining a distance and/or a speed of a target, a radar signal is transmitted in a direction of the target and a reflected radar echo is received, for which at least two transmission/reception channels are used whose signal paths each include an antenna and a mixer; at least one mixture is switched over from a first into a second operating state, in order to use the mixer, in the first operating state, bidirectionally as a transfer mixture, and, in the second operating state, in an at least approximately isolating manner as a receiving mixer.

    摘要: In a method for frequency matching in an FMCW radar sensor, a plurality of frequencies, which are derived on various modulation ramps, and which respectively are shown by the radar sensor in a d-v space as geometrical locations, represent possible combinations of a distance d and a speed v of the respective object. In order to identify the objects located on the various modulation ramps, coincidences between the geometrical locations which belong to frequencies derived on various modulation ramps are searched for. The search for coincidences is initially restricted in a first step to a subspace of the d-v space, and in a subsequent step, the search is extended to other regions of the d-v space, while suppressing the frequencies that are associated with the objects found in the first step.
