An FMCW radar sensor having a plurality of antenna elements and a supply circuit for supplying transmission signals having ramp-shaped modulated frequencies to the antenna elements, including a switchover device for switching over the supply circuit between a near-field mode, in which the transmission signals supplied to the individual antenna elements have a certain frequency offset, and a far-field mode, in which the frequencies of the transmission signals are identical.

FMCW radar sensor

A radar system for motor vehicles, having a radar sensor and an evaluation device for measuring distances and relative velocities of objects in the surrounding field of the vehicle, and a collision detection device, which, on the basis of the measured distances and relative velocities, recognizes an imminent collision and delivers data on the expected time of collision and the impact velocity to a precrash system. The radar sensor is switchable by the collision detection device to a velocity measurement mode in which a more precise measurement of the relative velocity is made.

Radar system for motor vehicles

A device for a radar system, the device being supplied with the received signals of at least two receiving antennas as input signals, and in which the output signals of this device are supplied to at least one unit for evaluating the received signals which includes at least two evaluation channels. Different input channels are allocated to the at least two evaluation channels as a function of supplied control signals.

Device for a radar system

A device for adjusting a beam system is proposed including a base having at least one beam source, and at least three supporting elements, which fix the base to a carrier, each length of the at least three supporting elements being capable of being changed selectively and independently of one another in order to change the distance of the at least one beam source from a focusing arrangement, and in order to change the alignment of the at least one beam source in relation to the focusing arrangement.

Device for adjusting a beam system

A method and a radar sensor for determining an elevation angle error of a multibeam radar sensor are described. In order to detect an elevation angle of the multibeam radar system with respect to a predefined target, a plurality of laterally arranged cutting planes at a predefined distance are formed. The values of the corresponding antenna diagrams in each plane are stored in a suitable form, for example, normalized and in a parametric form taking into account the elevation angle &agr;. In order to reduce the size of the memory, it is sufficient to store one symmetry half for reasons of symmetry if additional information, for example, road clutter values are added, so that the upward or downward direction of the angle can be recognized. By comparing the measured echo values obtained by normalization and application of a quality factor, a corresponding elevation angle &agr; is obtained for each cutting plane. Using an appropriate histogram, an angle for the maladjustment of radar sensor can be determined from the measured values stored over a longer period of time.

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for adjusting the alignment of a beam characteristic of a distance sensor, in particular of a proximity radar for a motor vehicle. An apparatus for positioning a motor vehicle, preferably a headlight aiming device, is joined to the target object for the distance sensor. Also provided is a service unit with which measured values or data of the distance sensor can be read out. On the basis of at least one predefined criterion, the measured values or data are analyzed in such a way that necessary displacement directions of the distance sensor can be displayed by way of the service unit. Preferably the capability of the distance sensor to determine angular positions of detected target objects is utilized. Otherwise adjustment is performed to predefined reception levels.

An antenna lens, in particular for a motor vehicle radar system, has in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the antenna lens at least a first and a second lens region, the lens regions being configured such that electromagnetic waves are concentrated or scattered in a first manner upon passage through the first lens region and in a second manner upon passage through the second lens region. The lens regions have different polarization-dependent permeabilities for electromagnetic waves. A motor vehicle radar system having an antenna lens of this kind is also described.
