The performance of automotive controller area network (CAN) for safety driving applications based on the radar sensors is tightly related to the target vehicle detection. The presented paper deals with introduction of appropriate signal detection and signal processing techniques for closing vehicle detection (CVD) based on FMCW radar.

Radar obtains its parameters on a grid whose design supports resolution of underlying radar processing. Existing radar exploits a regular grid although the resolution changes with stronger echoes at shorter ranges. We compute the radar resolution from the intrinsic geometrical structure of data models that is characterized in terms of the Fisher information metric. Based on the information-base...

This paper describes the architecture of a microwave radar system intended for imaging concealed objects under clothing as a subject walks through the inspection area. The system uses the principle of inverse aperture which is achieved by a person’s movement past a stationary microwave sensor array. In the system, the vertical resolution is achieved by arranging microwave sensors vertically whi...

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has developed a millimeter-wave radar for automotive application. Monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), developed specifically for this application by Mitsubishi Electric, are used for the radio-frequency (RF) module to obtain outstanding radar performance. This millimeter-wave radar incorporates a signal-processing unit in the radar head, resulting i...
