High-Resolution Angle Estimation for an Automotive FMCW Radar Sensor
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces the application of high-resolution angle estimation algorithms for a 77GHz automotive long range radar sensor. Highresolution direction of arrival (DOA) estimation is important for future safety systems. Using FMCW principle, major challenges discussed in this paper are small number of snapshots, correlation of the signals, and antenna mismatches. Simulation results allow analysis of these effects and help designing the sensor. Road traffic measurements show superior DOA resolution and the feasibility of high-resolution angle estimation.
