Abstract: A radar device, in particular for a motor vehicle, which includes a housing having a first housing part that defines a receiving space (20) The housing also includes a second housing part, which is attached to the first housing part and forms a cover for at least the receiving space. Aa circuit board is accommodated within the housing, and the circuit board has at least one transmission antenna means for transmitting radar beams. The circuit board also has at least one receiving antenna means for receiving radar beams on a first surface which faces the second housing part when in the intended mounted position. The circuit board further includes electronic high frequency circuitry components and low frequency circuitry components on a second surface, as well as at least one shielding means inside the housing. The shielding means is configured for shielding against electromagnetic radiation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of determining the path of a vehicle along a two-dimensional plane intended to control the movement of the vehicle by means of a driver-assisting system, where the path interconnects an initial state and a terminal state and each of the states Zi=[xi, yi, ?i, ci] along the path is characterized by four state coordinates with xi and yi being the Cartesian coordinates of a point Pi, ?i being the direction angle of the tangent line, and ci being the curvature of the path at point Pi, and where the path is made up of a number of elementary paths meeting at junction points JPi such that the four state coordinates of state Zi are characterized by a continuous transition at the junction points JPi.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of detecting and correcting the loss of a target lost by the distance sensor installation of a motor vehicle when a target object (4) moves from one detection channel of the distance sensor installation to an adjacent detection channel, wherein the method consists of determining the mean size of a weak detection band between the intensity peaks of two adjacent detection channels and computing the time a narrow target object (4), particularly if it is a single-channel target object, remains in this previously determined band.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a distance sensor with a method and device that aid the compensation of mounting tolerances of a distance sensor, where compensation is provided with little effort, quickly and reliably. This is achieved by having the distance sensor (1) emit its rays (2) at an aperture angle (a) of 0.1° to 10° and pick up data while the vehicle is moving straight forward, and determining an angle error (6) by comparing the data picked up during a change of channels.

Abstract: A distance sensor with a method and device for compensating for mounting tolerances. Mounting tolerances may make distance sensors fail in correctly measuring the angle between the sensor and an object which will result in wrong lateral spacing to be computed. Sensor values therefore need to be corrected. Available methods of correction require quite a lot of memory capacity and processor power. The invention therefore aims at providing a method and a device that aid the compensation of mounting tolerances of a distance sensor, where compensation is provided with little effort and extremely quickly. This is achieved by having the distance sensor (1) emit its rays (2) at an aperture angle (a) of 0.1° to 10° and pick up data while the vehicle is moving straight forward, and determining an angle error (?) by comparing the data picked up during a chance of channels.
