Title:
VEHICLE MOUNTED RADAR SYSTEM AND ITS SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/066656
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Since a simultaneously detectable range is limited to one when a plurality of antennas are switched, a short distance detection range becomes small when a long distance antenna is used and, conversely, maximum detection distance decreases when a short distance antenna is used. When a radar is combined with an image sensor, the image sensor may exhibit a detection performance similar to that of a single radar due to bad weather or light beam conditions (backlight, forward light, and the like). The vehicle mounted radar system comprises a first radar for detecting at least the relative speed to a target or the position of the target by radiating a radio wave forward and receiving the reflected wave, and a second radar having a detection range different from that of the first radar, wherein both radars detect the target constantly. When the target deviates from the detection range of the first radar, information of the target detected immediately before it is transferred from the first radar to the second radar.
