Abstract
Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for radar or LIDAR measurement are presented. Some configurations include transmitting, via a transceiver, a first beam having a first frequency characteristic; calculating a distance between the transceiver and a moving object based on information from at least one reflection of the first beam; transmitting, via the transceiver, a second beam having a second frequency characteristic that is different than the first frequency characteristic, wherein the second beam is directed such that an axis of the second beam intersects a ground plane; and calculating an ego-velocity of the transceiver based on information from at least one reflection of the second beam. Applications relating to road vehicular (e.g., automobile) use are described.
