Abstract:
A method for ascertaining and compensating for a misalignment angle of a radar sensor of a vehicle, includes generating a first set of data which contains information about a measured alignment of the radar sensor with respect to an instantaneous movement of the vehicle; generating a second set of data which contains information about a measured alignment of the reference axes defined at the vehicle with respect to the instantaneous movement of the vehicle; ascertaining a misalignment angle by comparing the generated first set of data to the generated second set of data; compensating for the ascertained misalignment angle by changing an emission direction of the main lobe of the antenna characteristic as a function of the ascertained misalignment angle.
Abstract:
A monitoring device and to a method for monitoring a proper operational state of a transmission link having multiple channels, each of which is configured for the differential transmission of signals, including the following steps: feeding differential signals at a first end of the transmission link to be monitored; converting the signals received at a second end of the transmission link to be monitored into difference signals, a difference signal being formed for each channel; and comparing a quality criterion which is dependent on the distribution of the values of the difference signals to a threshold value. The quality criterion depends on the variance of the logarithms of the difference signals across the channels, for example.
