  • Publication number: 20240210521
    Abstract: A radar device. The radar device includes a printed circuit board; a signal generation circuit, which is arranged at least indirectly on the printed circuit board, is electrically coupled to the printed circuit board and is designed to generate a radar signal; a waveguide antenna device, which is arranged at least indirectly on the printed circuit board; and a waveguide coupling device, wherein the signal generation circuit is arranged on or in the waveguide coupling device, and wherein the waveguide coupling device is designed to couple the radar signal generated by the signal generation circuit, into the waveguide antenna device.

  • Patent number: 11709224
    Abstract: A MIMO radar system including a transmitter array, and a receiver array, the antenna distances in one of the transmitter and receiver arrays being above the Nyquist limit for unambiguous angle measurements, but the antenna distances in the combination of the transmitter and receiver arrays being below this Nyquist limit. The system also includes a control and evaluation unit.

  • Patent number: 11422232
    Abstract: A MIMO radar system. The system includes a transmitter array, a receiver array, the antenna distances in one of the transmitter and receiver arrays being below the Nyquist limit for unambiguous angle measurements, but the antenna distances in the combination of the transmitter and receiver arrays being above this Nyquist limit. The system further includes a control and evaluation unit, which is designed to transmit via the transmitter array a sequence of transmit signals, which are subdivided into multiple measuring blocks, in each of multiple repeatedly implemented measuring cycles, a uniform multiplex scheme being applied within each measuring block and the multiplex schemes varying from measuring block to measuring block, carry out a Doppler estimation and an angle estimation based on the receiver array, carry out a Doppler correction of the received signals based on the Doppler estimations, demultiplex the Doppler-corrected signals, and refine the Doppler estimations and angle estimations.

  • Patent number: 11360204
    Abstract: 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.
