  • Publication number: 20240077599
    Abstract: A vehicle radar system (3) adapted to be placed in an ego vehicle (1) and comprising a control unit (4) and at least one transceiver arrangement (5) arranged to generate and transmit an FMCW signal (6; 6a, 6?a; 6b, 6?b) and to receive reflected signals (7) that have been reflected by one or more target objects (14, 15), each target object having an associated determined target object velocity (v2, v3). The FMCW signal (6) comprises a corresponding plurality of frequency ramps (r1, r2), where each one has a certain duration time (tr1, tr2). The control unit (4) is adapted to control the transceiver arrangement (5) to generate at least two pluralities (6a, 6?a; 6b, 6?b, 6c, 6?c) of ramps (r1, r2). The ramps (r1) in each plurality (6a, 6?a) of ramps (r1) are adapted to have a ramp period time (tT1) that differs from the ramp period time (tT2, tT3, tT4) in all other pluralities (6b, 6?b, 6c, 6?c) of ramps (r1, r2).

  • Patent number: 10359504
    Abstract: A system and method for mitigating interference in a frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar processing system is defined. Random inter-pulse jitter is implemented in a transmitted radar signal to prevent identification of false tracks due to interfering radar signals. Random intra-pulse jitter of time and/or frequency is implanted to create spreading of false targets and provide a method to distinguish false targets from true targets. Adjacent sensors in a multi-sensor radar system are alternatingly configured to transmit either upward ramping or downward ramping frequencies to mitigate interference between adjacent sensors in the same radar system.
