Radar sensor for motor vehicles. The radar sensor has a high-frequency part, which is configured to transmit sequences of modulated radar pulses and to receive the corresponding radar echoes, and an electronic evaluation part, which is configured to take distance and angle measurements using a synthetic aperture, and includes a scanning module, an FFT module for performing fast Fourier transforms to calculating a two-dimensional distance/velocity radar image, a transform module configured to transform the raw data, while simultaneously correcting migration effects, into a format that can be processed by the FFT module, by applying a transform function defined by a number N of coefficients, and a coefficient module for preparing the coefficients for the transform module. The coefficient module including a memory, in which there is stored an initial set of coefficients comprising fewer than N coefficients, and a recursion module, for recursive calculation of the remaining coefficients.

Sa radar sensor for motor vehicles

A method for determining an ego-velocity estimated value and an angle estimated value of targets using a synthetic aperture radar sensor. A distance is measured between the synthetic aperture radar sensor and each respective target. A relative velocity of the respective target is measured using the Doppler effect. An angle estimation of an angle estimated value takes place, which characterizes the angle between the direction of the ego-velocity of the synthetic aperture radar and the respective target. An individual ego-velocity estimated value of the synthetic aperture radar sensor is ascertained using the relative velocity and the angle estimated value for each target. A classification and distribution of the individual ego-velocity estimated values relating to stationary targets takes place, whose individual ego-velocity estimated values are situated within a predefinable range relative to one another, and relating to moving targets, whose individual ego-velocity estimated values are situated outside the range.

Method for determining an ego-velocity estimated value and an angle estimated value of targets

A method for operating a radar sensor in a motor vehicle, in which in a SAR measuring mode according to the principle of the synthetic aperture, objects, including stationary objects, are located with high angular resolution. The same radar sensor is operated in time-shifted manner or concurrently in the SAR measuring mode and in a Doppler measuring mode, the relative speeds of objects, including moving objects, being measured with a time resolution in the Doppler measuring mode that is greater than the time resolution in the SAR measuring mode.

Method for operating a radar sensor in a motor vehicle

A method for operating a sensor of a motor vehicle. The method includes: ascertaining an ego trajectory of the sensor, generating adaptation signals for adapting at least one operating parameter of the sensor based on the ascertained ego trajectory and outputting the adaptation signals in order to adapt the at least one operating parameter of the sensor based on the adaptation signals. A device, a sensor system, a motor vehicle, a computer program, and a machine-readable memory medium, are also described.
