Abstract
Some demonstrative aspects include radar apparatuses, devices, systems and methods. In one example, a radar system may include a plurality of radar devices. For example, a radar device may include one or more Transmit (Tx) antennas to transmit radar Tx signals, one or more Receive (Rx) antennas to receive radar Rx signals, and a processor to generate radar information based on the radar Rx signals. In one example, the radar system may be implemented as part of a vehicle. In other aspects, the radar system may include any other additional or alternative elements and/or may be implemented as part of any other device or system.
Claims29
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- identify an environment-related attribute corresponding to an environment of a radar device based on driving scenario information corresponding to a driving scenario of a vehicle comprising the radar device;
- and
- based on the environment related attribute, determine an antenna polarization setting to be applied for communication of radar signals by the radar device, wherein the processor is configured to determine the antenna polarization setting based on whether the driving scenario comprises one or more walls;
- and
- an output to provide antenna polarization information to configure the antenna polarization setting.
A product comprising one or more tangible computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising computer-executable instructions operable to, when executed by at least one processor, enable the at least one processor to:
- identify an environment-related attribute corresponding to an environment of a radar device based on driving scenario information corresponding to a driving scenario of a vehicle comprising the radar device;
- and
- based on the environment related attribute, determine an antenna polarization setting to be applied for communication of radar signals by the radar device, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the processor to determine the antenna polarization setting based on whether the driving scenario comprises one or more walls;
- and
- output antenna polarization information to configure the antenna polarization setting.
A vehicle comprising:
- a system controller configured to control one or more vehicular systems of the vehicle based on radar information;
- and
- a radar system configured to provide the radar information to the system controller, the radar system comprising:
- one or more Transmit (Tx) antennas to transmit radar Tx signals;
- one or more Receive (Rx) antennas to receive radar Rx signals based on the radar Tx signals, wherein the radar information is based on the radar Rx signals;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- identify an environment-related attribute corresponding to an environment of the radar system based on driving scenario information corresponding to a driving scenario of the vehicle;
- based on the environment related attribute, determine an antenna polarization setting to be applied for communication of radar signals by at least one antenna of the one or more Tx antennas or the one or more Rx antennas, wherein the processor is configured to determine the antenna polarization setting based on whether the driving scenario comprises one or more walls;
- and
- output antenna polarization information to configure the antenna polarization setting.
