INTRODUCTION TO RADAR FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS
This course covers radar fundamentals, emphasizing the understanding of physical principles and limitations of radar systems from the perspective of radar returns from objects of interest to automotive radar including vehicles, pedestrians and transportation infrastructure. You are exposed to all aspects of radar design at a level detailed enough to understand system engineering estimates for the major functions by examining the basic functions of radars, from the waveform generation in the transmitter, all the way to matched filter detection in the receiver. Gain an understanding of how to characterize the impact on these basic functions due to radar design parameters. Trends in hardware and the associated benefits and trade-offs of new technologies is discussed. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By attending this seminar, you will be able to: • Define basic radar operation from the perspective of waveform generation, RF carrier insertions, transmitter, channel effects, receiver mixing, and matched filtering • Define basic radar design parameters including wavelength, bandwidth, antenna size, beam- schedule, and transmitter power • Compute basic radar design parameters using signal to noise ratio, range resolution, unambiguous range, Doppler resolution, and unambiguous Doppler • Discuss the concept of a radar cross section and use statistical models for realistic performance estimates for radar cross-section, scattering from canonical objects, scattering from extended targets, and statistical models • Characterize system performance using design parameters and quantities for Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves, and Detector Error Trade (DET) curves WHO SHOULD ATTEND This course will be particularly valuable for assisted driving advanced system engineers, active safety technology engineers, radar engineers, and safety test engineers.
The course is taught from the perspective of a system level that can be used to evaluate design choices and understand their impact on the radar system as a whole.
