Abstract
Abstract. Millimetre wave radar is an essential part of automotive safety functions. A high interference tolerance, especially with other radar sensors, is vital. This paper gives an overview of the motivation, the boundary conditions and related activities in the MOSARIM project funded by the European Union and concerned with interference mitigation in automotive radars. Current and planned activities considering Digital Beamforming (DBF) as a method for interference mitigation are presented.
Highlights
A global trend or “megatrend” to be expected in the midterm future is increasing urbanization and the growth of megacities
Millimetre wave radar is an essential part of automotive safety functions
Automotive safety is an essential requirement and vital necessity. There is another implication for the increasing number of cars equipped with safety functions based on radar technology: As the car density and absolute number of cars using radar increase, the chance of two radar sensors interacting in some way increases
Summary
A global trend or “megatrend” to be expected in the midterm future is increasing urbanization and the growth of megacities. Automotive safety is an essential requirement and vital necessity There is another implication for the increasing number of cars equipped with safety functions based on radar technology: As the car density and absolute number of cars using radar increase, the chance of two radar sensors interacting in some way increases. In anticipation of this development, the EU Seventh Framework Programme MOSARIM (see MOSARIM Webpage, 2010) was initiated by a number of OEMs, Tier 1 and scientific institutes. This paper is structured as follows: First a short estimation of the future development of radar equipped cars is presented.
