Abstract
Described and disclosed herein are systems, methods and devices of in-vehicle radar comprised of an antenna array having a plurality of emitters and receivers, wherein the emitters and receivers are configured such that the divergence of the radar beams is concentrated on specific regions of interest, or to spread the divergence in a way to make the detection region uniform within the vehicle.
Claims12
A vehicle radar system, comprising:
- an antenna array comprising a plurality of radar transmitters and receivers, wherein the array is configured to create a virtual array having a field of view within an interior cabin of a vehicle, wherein a resolution within the field of view of the virtual array has a higher resolution in some areas of the interior cabin and a lower resolution in other areas of the interior cabin and/or the resolution is uniform within the interior cabin.
A method of detecting objects, persons, animals, or movement like within an interior cabin of a vehicle comprising:
- providing an antenna array comprising a plurality of radar transmitters and receivers, wherein the array is configured to create a virtual array having a field of view within an interior cabin of a vehicle, wherein a resolution within the field of view of the virtual array has a higher resolution in some areas of the interior cabin and a lower resolution in other areas of the interior cabin and/or the resolution is uniform within the interior cabin;
- and
- detecting the objects, persons, animals, or movement within an interior cabin of a vehicle.
