Patent number: 11360204Abstract: A method for a MIMO radar system includes encoding signals that are transmitted from different transmitting antennas according to code blocks; determining for a radar object a Doppler estimation that has a periodic ambiguity; and resolving the periodic ambiguity, where the resolving includes, for each of multiple ambiguity hypotheses of the Doppler shift: compensating for the Doppler shift according to the respective ambiguity hypothesis, and decoding for separating signal components associated with the transmitting antennas. An ambiguity hypothesis that is applicable to the radar object is selected based on quality criteria for the decoding for the particular ambiguity hypotheses, and an unambiguous speed estimation of the radar object is determined corresponding to the Doppler estimation and the selected ambiguity hypothesis. The quality of an angle estimation based on the signal components can be determined as a quality criterion for the decoding.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2019Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Gor Hakobyan, Markus Gonser

Publication number: 20220179067Abstract: A method for evaluating an height of an object in the surrounding environment of a vehicle, using ultrasonic signals acquired by an ultrasonic sensor mounted on the vehicle. In a measurement cycle, a first ultrasonic signal is acquired as an edge reflection or as a directly traveling echo of an object. An expectation window is calculated for an associated interior-corner reflection. A second ultrasonic signal acquired in the expectation window is recognized as an interior-corner reflection associated with the first ultrasonic signal. The first and second ultrasonic signals are combined to form a signal group. A significance is determined for each ultrasonic signal. The signal group is assigned to a first or second echo group. The rates of the assignment to the first and to the second echo group are determined over a number of measurement cycles. An evaluation of the height is based on the first and second rates.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2020Publication date: June 9, 2022Applicant: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Christian Matthies, Juergen Schmidt, Michael Schumann, Tom Reimann

Patent number: 11354411Abstract: Instruction classification and software intrusion detection is performed. Program instruction execution of a processor of a microcontroller unit (MCU) is monitored via side-channel signal analysis, the monitoring including capturing a signal trace of a physical property of the MCU that leaks information correlated with the program instruction execution of the MCU, the signal trace indicating a value of the physical property over time. From the signal trace, time domain features, frequency domain features, and Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) features are extracted. A model is utilized for instruction detection to identify an execution signature based on the time domain features, frequency domain features, and MFCC features. The execution signature is compared to one or more reference instruction signatures. A remedial action is performed responsive to the execution signature failing to match to the one or more reference instruction signatures.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2020Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Mesbah Uddin, Stefan Gehrer, Jorge Guajardo Merchan
