Abstract
A vehicular sensing system includes a plurality of radio frequency (RF) sensor units disposed at a vehicle so as to have respective fields of sensing exterior of the vehicle. Each RF sensor unit includes a plurality of transmitting antennae and a plurality of receiving antennae, with each transmitting antenna transmitting RF signals and each receiving antenna receiving RF signals transmitted by each transmitting antenna to provide a respective field of sensing of each of the RF sensor units. A data processor of each RF sensor unit processes data provided from the respective receiving antennae and generates an output of the respective RF sensor unit. The outputs of the RF sensor units are communicated to an ECU and, responsive to the outputs of the RF sensor units, the ECU detects objects present exterior the vehicle and within the field of sensing of at least one of the RF sensor units.
