摘要: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for radar networking for improved angular resolution. In an embodiment, a radar network includes a first radar and a second radar attached to a vehicular platform or another appropriate platform. Through coarse beamforming from each radar, a landmark is detected. The landmark's rough location in the first radar's coordinate and the landmark's rough location in the second radar coordinate are determined. The radar network is calibrated, by setting the first radar's location as the reference location and determining the second radar's location relative to it. Phase differences that may arise from relative positional or timing misalignment between the radars may be compensated. Fine beamforming is performed on the calibrated radars, and data from the fine beamforming is processed with the pre-detected target data to cancel out grating lobes.

摘要: A method for measuring an elevation angle and/or azimuth angle with an antenna array. Identical transmitted signals that are formed of successive linear-frequency-modulated ramps are transmitted through the transmitting antennas of the antenna array using time division multiplexing, wherein the time division multiplexing is achieved through alternating attenuation of the signals transmitted by the transmitting antennas. Echoes of the transmitted signals are received by the receiving antennas and are down-converted to a baseband and sampled. The down-converted and sampled echoes are transformed by an FFT into a 2D image domain. Phase differences are determined from the image data, and, in order to compensate for a systematic error present because of the lack of separation of the two transmitted signals, an error-compensated elevation angle and/or an error-compensated azimuth angle is determined by means of a compensation.

摘要: A test bench (1) is described and shown for testing a distance sensor (2) operating with electromagnetic waves, wherein the distance sensor (2) to be tested comprises at least one sensor radiating element (3a) for radiating a transmission signal (4) and a sensor receiving element (3b) for receiving a reflection signal, with a receptacle (5) for holding the distance sensor (2) to be tested, with an at least partially movable connecting member (6, 6m, 6s) in the radiation area of a distance sensor (2) held in the receptacle (5), with at least one test bench receiving element (7) held in the connecting member (6, 6m, 6s) for receiving a transmission signal (4) radiated by the sensor radiating element (3a), and with at least one test bench radiating element (8) held in the connecting member (6) for radiating a test bench transmitting signal (9) as a simulated reflection signal.
A reliable environment simulation, in particular for the testing of multiple input-multiple output distance sensors (2) is achieved in that at least one test bench receiving element (7, 7a, 7b) and one test bench radiating element (8, 8a, 8b) are arranged together in a movable part (6m) of the connecting member (6).-

摘要: The present disclosure relates to a device and method for detecting vertical misalignment of a vehicle radar device and vehicle radar device with the same. A radar device according to an embodiment determines a monitoring range including the ground in front by using the radar signal, determines an error of vertical angles for a number of ground distances within the monitoring range, and detects the vertical mounting misalignment of the radar device by using the error. According to embodiments, it is possible to accurately determine the vertical mounting misalignment of the radar device even if there is a road surface non-uniformity, road slope, or radar beam width change.

摘要: A method for calibrating a radar system includes disposing the radar sensor at a vehicle and disposing an object at a first location relative to the vehicle. Using sensor data captured by the radar sensor with the object at the first location, a first location of the object relative to the radar sensor is determined. The object is moved along an intended principal axis of sensing for the radar sensor from the first location to a second location. Using sensor data captured by the radar sensor with the object at the second location, a second location of the object relative to the radar sensor is determined. Using the first determined location of the object and the second determined location of the object, a misalignment of the radar sensor is determined. The radar system is calibrated based at least in part on the misalignment.

摘要: A radar device includes radar transmission and receiving circuits. The radar transmission circuit transmits one or more transmission signals, each having a transmission period Tr. The radar receiving circuit receives one or more reflected signals in which the transmission signals are reflected by an object and estimates a direction of the object based on the reflected signals. The radar transmission circuit includes Nt transmission antennas. A control circuit sets a transmission gap period between a first and second periods, with the transmission gap period being a period during which the transmission signals are not transmitted. The first period is equal to an integral multiple of a period Np, the period Np is equal to or more than Nt times the transmission period Tr, and the second period is set after the first period and is equal to an integral multiple of the period Np.
