  • Radar and light emission assembly for vehicles for emitting light and radar radiation, and method and use
    Patent number: 11845376
    Abstract: Provided is a radar and light emission assembly for emitting light and radar radiation and for detecting at least reflected radar radiation including: a headlight including a light-transparent headlight cover, and a light source, and a light reflector; a radar module, which is arranged behind the headlight cover, integrated in the headlight and including a radar antenna unit. The radar and light emission assembly has at least one radar radiation-forming mechanism, in particular a frequency-selective radar radiation-forming mechanism, including a radar radiation-forming mechanism, which is integrated in the headlight cover. The application of the radar technology, integrated in the headlight, can be further optimized hereby. The invention further relates to a method and a use for a radar and light emission assembly of this type.

  • Transmitting arrangement, receiving arrangement, transceiver and method for operation of a transmitting arrangement
    Patent number: 7502598
    Abstract: In a transmitting arrangement a power amplifier is coupled to a radio-frequency antenna arrangement via a controllable matching apparatus. This allows direct impedance transformation of the output of the power amplifier to the input of the radio-frequency antenna arrangement. There is no need for transformation to the 50 ohm standard. The power amplifier, matching apparatus and a control circuit for controlling the impedance of the matching apparatus form a functional unit, which is advantageously in the form of a monolithically integrated structure in a semiconductor body. A receiving arrangement is produced in the same way, comprising an antenna, a filter device and a matching apparatus connected between them.
