Abstract: A vehicle radar system (3, 3?, 3?) and method which including a microcontroller unit (21), MCU, and a plurality of Analog to Digital Converters (9, 10, 11, 12), (ADCs), arranged to convert the received signals to a digital form and to transfer the converted digital signals to a first and second Digital Signal Processor (DSP) (18, 19), DSP. The MCU (21) is arranged to control the DSPs (18, 19) such that for one time frame (n), the first DSP (18) functions as a Master DSP and the second DSP (19) functions as a Slave DSP, and such that for the next time frame (n+1), the first DSP (18) is configured to function as a Slave DSP and the second DSP (19) functions as a Master DSP. The MCU compares the raw target data from the first and second DSPs (19) to determine a degree of functionality for the DSPs (18, 19).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle impact sensor device adapted to detect an impact between a vehicle (1) and a person. The sensor device (6) comprises a tubular enclosure (7) which encloses a gas-filled space (8). The tubular enclosure (7) has a first end (7a) and a second end (7b) and is arranged to extend along a bumper cover (5), when mounted to a vehicle (1). The sensor device (6) further comprises a pressure sensor (9, 9?, 11, 11?) arranged to detect pressure characteristics in the the tubular enclosure (7). The sensor device (6) also comprises a gas pulse device (11, 11?) which is connected to the tubular enclosure (7), the gas pulse device (11, 11?) being arranged to insert gas into, or withdraw gas from, the tubular enclosure (7).
