Radar system and method for detecting an object in space

Abstract

The invention relates to a radar system (100) comprising at least one movably arranged localization sensor (1.1, 10.1) which is designed in the form of a radar sensor and comprising means for detecting the position of the at least one localization sensor (1.1, 10.1). The at least one localization sensor (1.1, 10.1) has means for generating a non-homogenous radiation characteristic, said means being designed such that a localization radiation lobe (1.3) formed therewith has a signal amplitude which is based on a first localization angle (50) such that the signal amplitude has a localization signal curve (52), wherein the localization signal curve (52) is based on a second localization angle (54). The invention also relates to a method (800) for detecting an object (8) in space, a second localization component of the reflected localization signal (71) being detected by correlating the reflected signal curve with the non-homogenous radiation characteristic of the localization sensor.
