Target simulator concept for chirp modulated 77 GHz automotive radar sensors

摘要

Automotive radar sensors are key components for driver assistant systems. In order to handle complex traffic scenarios an advanced separability is required with respect to object angle, distance and velocity. In this contribution a highly integrated automotive radar sensor enabling chirp sequence modulation will be presented and discussed. Furthermore, the development of a target simulator which is essential for the characterization of such radar sensors will be introduced including measurements demonstrating the performance of our system.
