Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to a radar system and method of optimizing proximity clustering. The method includes generating radar data from return radio frequency beams with a radar system and detecting objects from the radar data, and generating a three-dimensional pixel map from the radar data including direction of arrival data. The method includes traversing the pixel map to identify other pixels containing detected objects neighboring a subject pixel and determining whether the subject pixel and a neighbor pixel are assigned to clusters. The method includes assigning the neighbor pixel to a same cluster as that of the subject pixel when only the subject pixel is assigned to a cluster, assigning the subject pixel to a same cluster as that of the neighbor pixel when only the neighbor pixel is assigned to a cluster, and merging clusters when the subject pixel and the neighbor pixel are assigned to different clusters.

Abstract: A radar system having an array of radiating elements configured for both analog beamforming and digital beamforming as analog parameters of the individual radiating elements are controlled, while digital control expands the field of view of the system. The radar system can include an array of radiating elements and a reactance control module coupled to the array of radiating elements and configured to adjust a reactance in one or more radiating elements of the array of radiating elements. The radar system also includes a digital control mechanism coupled to the array of radiating elements and configured to adjust a field of view of the array of radiating elements. A hybrid beamforming system and a method for a beamforming antenna are also provided herein.

Abstract: An inductive system for vehicle information capture, having a radar module adapted to identify an echo signal having an amplitude over a threshold value, an interrogator module coupled to the radar module and adapted to initiate a radio frequency identification (RFID) information exchange when the amplitude is over the threshold value, a processor coupled to the radar module and the interrogator module, and a memory storage unit adapted to store RFID information. Examples disclosed herein provide methods and apparatus for vehicle sensors and vehicle identification.
