  • Patent number: 11762084
    Abstract: A vehicle radar system (3) and method including a first and second radar sensor arrangement (4a, 4b). Each radar sensor arrangement (4a, 4b) includes at least two transmitter antenna devices (10a1, 10a2) and at least two receiver antenna devices (13a1, 13a2, 13a3, 13a4), where each receiver antenna device (13a1, 13a2, 13a3, 13a4) has a corresponding boresight extension (46a, 46b) that is perpendicular to an antenna plane (57). Each receiver antenna device (13a1, 13a2, 13a3, 13a4) has a corresponding antenna radiation pattern (47a, 47b) that has a lower gain (48a, 48b) in its boresight extension (46a, 46b) than at a certain corresponding first maximum gain azimuth angle (?1a, ?1b) where there is a first maximum gain (49a, 49b). Each radar sensor arrangement (4a, 4b) is mounted such that each first maximum gain (49a, 49b) is directed along a corresponding first maximum gain extension (51a, 51b), such that an overlap part (56) of the antenna radiation patterns (47a, 47b) is formed.

  • Publication number: 20180284267
    Abstract: A vehicle radar system (3) including at least one group of at least two transceiver arrangements (7a, 7b) that are arranged to generate a respective radar signal (4a, 4b), and to receive reflected signals (5a, 5b) where the transmitted radar signals (4a, 4b) have been reflected by one or more objects (6). Each such group of transceiver arrangements (7a, 7b) is connected to a separate common control unit (13) via a corresponding serial link (22a, 22b). The common control unit (13) includes a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) arrangement (12) and a control unit (32).

  • Patent number: 6265832
    Abstract: In a driving circuit for a plurality of light-emitting diodes, in which the current (ILED) through each of the light-emitting diodes can be set by a respective current source, and in which a plurality of current sources are combined in an integrated circuit, a plurality of current sources have a common series resistor for reducing the power loss in the individual current sources.
