    Abstract: A radar sensor is disclosed herein, where the radar sensor detects blockage based upon detected radar signals. The radar sensor includes an antenna that detects electromagnetic radiation in a field of view and processing circuitry that is operably coupled to the antenna. Raw sensor data is generated based upon the detected electromagnetic radiation. A detection list is computed based upon the raw sensor data, and a blockage state for the radar sensor is computed based upon the detection list and the raw sensor data.

    Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to systems and methods for increasing radar resolution by, for example, combining radar information. In one embodiment, beamforming is performed using radar units that are individually coherent but collectively do not need to be coherent. Each radar transmits and receives its own signal to process and generate target information including beamforming information and/or virtual receiver channel information. The target information from each radar is then merged or summed into a combined beamforming based on all the target information received from all the radar units. When the radar units used in this manner are separated by a distance, the resulting beamforming information is representative of an aperture/resolution based on the total space or distance between the radar units. Thus, having an improved resolution, benefits such as improved target resolution (e.g., size, position, and detection) can be achieved.

    Abstract: A radar sensor system comprises a first radar sensor and at least a second radar sensor and one or more processors configured to assign different pulse rate intervals (PRI) to the first radar sensor and the second radar sensor. The processor(s) s are further configured to: receive ambiguous velocity estimates from the first and second radar sensors, respectively; determine maximum detectable velocity (Vmax) values for the first and second radar sensors based on their respective PRIs; generate a first velocity vector for the first radar sensor based on the first Vmax and the first ambiguous velocity estimate; generate a second velocity vector for the second radar sensor based on the second Vmax and the second ambiguous velocity estimate; compare velocity values in the first and second velocity vectors; and identify and output a velocity value common to the first and second velocity vectors as a correct unambiguous velocity of the object.

    Abstract: A radar sensor system comprises a transmit antenna configured to transmit a radar signal into an environment of the radar sensor system, and a receive antenna configured to receive a return signal from the environment of the radar sensor system responsive to the radar signal. The radar sensor system further comprises radar processing circuitry that is configured to perform acts comprising transmitting a radar signal having a predefined pulse repetition interval (PRI). The acts further comprise monitoring ego velocity of the radar sensor and detecting that the ego velocity has exceeded a first predetermined ego velocity threshold. The acts also comprise decreasing the predefined pulse repetition interval (PRI) based on the first predetermined ego velocity threshold.

    Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to systems and methods for broadband radar(s) having broadband antenna systems including, for example, antennas and components. In one aspect, a system is disclosed having a dielectric structure that includes two or more dielectric heights and/or effective dielectric constant values. A first dielectric height and/or effective dielectric constant value is used for a transmission feed portion of the system and a second dielectric height and/or effective dielectric constant value is used for an antenna portion of the system. In one embodiment, the second dielectric height is greater than the first dielectric height and is selected to provide the antenna portion with a selected frequency range.
