Definitions
- the present invention relates to a radar sensor device.
- a speckle radar sensor device for speed measurement according to the transit time correlation method consists of at least two sensor devices according to the radar principle and an evaluation device for evaluating the detected speckle patterns.
- Speckle radar sensor devices are usually mounted on the vehicle to send and receive directly perpendicular to the ground.
- the receive signals mixed down to the baseband are examined for their similarity.
- a common mathematical method for this is the cross-correlation.
- An evaluation principle which is favorable in terms of the signal processing effort represents the transit time correlator.
- the DE 10 2004 059 332 A1 discloses a radar transceiver wherein an oscillator, a mixer and an antenna are arranged on a single chip in a plane next to one another. Since the radiating element is integrated on such chips, one no longer requires cost-intensive HF-suitable printed circuit boards. In addition, you save on complex HF bond or flip-chip technology, which significantly reduces assembly and test costs.
- the DE 196 42 810 C1 discloses a radar system with an integrated sensor device, wherein in the beam direction in the housing is a dielectric lens which serves on the one hand for beam shaping and on the other hand protects the sensor device and other components from contamination and other environmental influences.
- a microwave lens antenna assembly for a vehicle proximity warning radar is described.
- the housing of the microwave lens antenna arrangement has exactly one dielectric lens formed as a stepped lens, in the focal plane of which three mutually horizontally arranged, separately switchable exciters are arranged.
- the housing of the device also has a dielectric lens, to which several transmitting and receiving elements can be assigned.
- the inventive radar sensor device defined in claim 1 reduces the cost and space requirements for a radar sensor device, which is preferably used for determining speed vectors of a vehicle relative to the roadway below the vehicle.
- a cost-effective sensor device with an evaluation device, which has a particularly low computational cost, an attractive solution can be realized that brings greatly reduced overall costs. Due to the highly integrated design, space-saving designs are possible which greatly facilitate the use in the motor vehicle sector.
- the vertical orientation of the speckle radar device to the ground makes the availability of an evaluable signal particularly in difficult underground situations, such as e.g. Extreme wetness or black ice increased, since with vertical radiation and vertical reception of the radar beam can not be reflected away.
- the speckle radar system for small velocity vectors has a greater evaluation dynamic than the Doppler approach. This is advantageous for the function of a float angle sensor, since even there low speeds must be detected.
- a signal processing device for processing the signals of the sensor devices is attached to the substrate. This further increases the compactness of the structure.
- the signal processing device is then designed as a separate chip, which is connected to the sensor devices via conductor tracks.
- the integrated sensor devices are integrated into individual chips such that each chip has exactly one antenna device.
- the integrated sensor devices it is also possible for the integrated sensor devices to be integrated in one or more chips such that at least one chip has a plurality of antenna devices.
- FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of a radar sensor device according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
- Reference numeral 50 denotes a speckle radar sensor device.
- Integrated sensor devices S1, S2, S3 and a signal evaluation device 20 as a respective chip 411, 412, 413, 21 are mounted on a substrate 52 in the form of a printed circuit board.
- the substrate 52 has a planar surface O on which the chips 411, 412, 413, 21 are attached, for example by gluing.
- the sensor devices are designed such that they radiate via a respective antenna device 451, 452, 453 radar signals in a respective direction away from the surface O signal direction SI1, SI2, SI3 and can receive from the respective signal direction SI1, SI2, SI3.
- On the antenna devices 451, 452, 453, by way of example, in each case a rod-shaped, dielectric beam pre-shaping device or lens 421, 422, 423 is arranged.
- the speckle radar sensor device 50 has a housing 51 and the substrate 52 encloses.
- the wall portion W of the housing 51 is preferably aligned parallel to the surface O of the substrate 52.
- beam-shaping elements 431, 432, 433 which are arranged such that each one Sensor device S1, S2, S3 is associated with a beam-shaping elements 431, 432, 433 in its associated signal direction SI1, SI2, SI3.
- the connection between the substrate 52 and the housing 51 can be accomplished in many different ways, for example, by gluing, soldering, welding, screwing, etc.
- the housing 51 with the integral beam-shaping elements 431, 432, 433 becomes one-piece formed from a moldable or castable material.
- the Signalauswert worn 20 controls the process of sending and receiving radar signals by the sensor devices S1, S2, S3, with which it is connected via conductor tracks L1, L2, L3.
- the sensor devices S1, S2, S3 In the arrangement of the sensor devices S1, S2, S3 according to the example of FIG. 1 For example, it is possible to determine a speed along the axis on which the sensor devices S1, S2 lie, and an orthogonal speed along the axis on which the sensor devices S2, S3 are located.
- the speeds determined in this way can be output as an output signal OUT from the signal evaluation device 20 to the outside of the radar sensor device 50 in order, for example, to be displayed on a display or used for further processing in a vehicle safety system (eg ESP).
- ESP vehicle safety system
- Fig. 2a, b are partial enlargements of a sensor device of Fig. 1 ,
- FIG. 2a is an enlargement of the section A1 of Fig. 1 shown, wherein the sensor device S1 is shown enlarged.
- FIG. 2b shows the structure of the chip 411 of the sensor device S1 without attached dielectric preforming device 421.
- the chip 411 in this embodiment combines an RF source 441, a reference source R, an antenna element 451, and a mixer 461.
- the output of the mixer provides a signal SX, which is used in addition to other signals for cross-correlation detection.
- the quality of the speckle evaluation can be controlled or set via beam shaping by means of the rod-shaped dielectric lens 421 or beam shaping via the beam-shaping lens 431.
- the described sensor devices S1, S2, S3 preferably send out electromagnetic waves at a constant frequency in the direction of the roadway.
- the electromagnetic signals which are reflected perpendicularly and are again received by the respective sensor device S1, S2, S3 are preferably down-converted to baseband (i.e., at the transmission frequency) and fed to the signal processing device 20.
- baseband i.e., at the transmission frequency
- a known delay correlator can be used. This will produce one of the baseband signals, e.g. SX are shifted in time until the comparison with the signal from the other sensor means located on the same axis shows a maximum match. From the shift time and distance of the sensor devices on the substrate 52, one can determine a velocity vector over the ground along the relevant axis of the radar sensor device.
- the output signals of the sensor devices S1, S2, S3 must be freed from the mean value before the comparison in a preferred A / D conversion.
- the essential speckle information lies in the zero crossings of the signals of the sensor devices S1, S2, S3 freed from the mean value. These signals can be sampled amplitude-limited, for example in an A / D converter, or polarized via the signum function in order to greatly reduce the amount of data to be processed.
