METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING A MEASUREMENT SIGNAL FOR DETECTING THE SURROUNDINGS OF A VEHICLE AND ASSOCIATED APPARATUS FOR DETECTING THE SURROUNDINGS OF A VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for generating a measurement signal for detecting the surroundings of a vehicle, which apparatus preferably operates in the ultrasonic frequency range, wherein a measurement signal (22) with predefinable coding, a predefinable pulse repetition interval, a predefinable burst length and a predefinable signal frequency is emitted and a resultant coded echo signal (24) is received and evaluated, and to an apparatus for detecting the surroundings of a vehicle. In order to make it possible to flexibly adapt the measurement signal to be emitted to the given circumstances in the vehicle surroundings, the coding and/or parameters of the measurement signal (22) is/are predefined on the basis of current interference signals and/or obstacles present in the area surrounding the vehicle.
