mm-Wave Radar Sensor for Distance Measurement in Short and Medium Range

摘要

The present invention discloses an mm-wave radar sensor to be deployed in the vehicles for parking sensor, as well as in industrial environments, robotics environments and other environments for addressing distance calculations from 0 cm to above 10 m.;The key system relevant components of the proposed systems are: utilization of mm-wave integrated radar SOC, supporting FMCW radar operation principle and CW radar operations, with additional analog functionality being integrated on SOC, planar antenna structure, and specific method of operation of switching from FMCW operation mode to the CW operation mode.;Preferably, the system, being integrated as HW module with SW components is using non licensed 60 GHz or 77-79 GHz frequency band with integrated RF radar SOC with PLL, with physical size less than 2×2×0.5 cm, and it is used for moving and parking assistance, being integrated as invisible in the vehicle body.
