Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for processing output or basic signals, in particular intermediate frequency output or basic signals, at least one device, in particular at least one radar device, for determining a distance, in particular a small distance in the order of magnitude of the close range of a vehicle of an object ,
- SRR short ranks radar
- various methods of processing and evaluating output or basic signals are known.
- a method is based on a threshold algorithm taking into account a background signal assumed to be constant and taking into account distance-dependent, fixed threshold values.
- the present invention is based on the object of providing a method of the type mentioned at the outset by which distance information is obtained from the raw signals, that is to say from the output or basic signals, of at least one device, in particular at least one radar device can be obtained in relation to at least one object which is located in the detection or sensing area of the device.
- the present invention seeks to design the processing of the output or base signals so that the influence of changes in the output or
- Base signals on the signal amplitudes to be evaluated with regard to the maximum or peak positions is minimized.
- the present invention therefore also aims at a method with which the reliability of detection can be increased under all conditions. According to the teaching of the present invention, this object is achieved by a method having the features mentioned in claim 1. Advantageous refinements and expedient developments of the present method are characterized in the subclaims.
- a robust method which is largely independent of extrinsic effects (for example parasitic Doppler effect in the presence of objects with a high relative speed) and intrinsic effects (for example aging phenomena or temperature influences) for processing output or basic signals of a device, is determined a distance of an object is provided.
- extrinsic effects for example parasitic Doppler effect in the presence of objects with a high relative speed
- intrinsic effects for example aging phenomena or temperature influences
- Precrash detection systems can be omitted.
- the present invention relates to a device, in particular a radar device, for determining a distance, in particular a small distance of the order of magnitude
- FIGS. 1 to 6 Further refinements, features and advantages of the present invention are explained in more detail below on the basis of the exemplary embodiment illustrated by FIGS. 1 to 6.
- Fig. 1 is a diagram in which the typical course of a
- Fig. 2 is a diagram in which the typical course of a
- FIG. 3 shows a diagram in which the course of the intermediate frequency output or base signal according to FIG. 1 or 2 is plotted after digital-to-analog conversion
- FIG. 5 shows a diagram in which the course of the magnitude signal according to FIG. 4, which is filtered by correlating, in particular multiplying, with a half-width value Reference maximum formed correlation signal is plotted against the distance from the object;
- FIG. 6 shows a diagram in which the course of the signal determined by means of a position-variable adaptive threshold value that can be determined from the correlation signal according to FIG. 5 is plotted with a maximum over the distance from the object.
- FIGS. 1 to 6 Identical or similar configurations, elements or features are provided with identical reference numerals in FIGS. 1 to 6.
- FIGS. 1 to 6 An exemplary embodiment of a method for processing intermediate frequency output or basic signals S, which can also be referred to as intermediate frequency raw signals, is shown with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6 by means of a microwave detector device (cf. FIG. 1) or by means of a radar device structured background signal S 0 (see FIG. 2) illustrates.
- a microwave detector device cf. FIG. 1
- a radar device structured background signal S 0 see FIG. 2 illustrates.
- the distance d of an object for example - when parking a motor vehicle - the distance of the curb or the bumper of the front or subsequent parked motor vehicle can be determined.
- the method according to the present invention can be used to determine, in particular, small distances in the order of magnitude of the close range of a vehicle, for example from approximately zero meters to approximately thirty meters.
- the background signals S 0 that is to say the signals in the absence of objects, depend on the type of sensor device (sampling phase
- Detector device in Figure 1; Radar device in Figure 2) has a different mean and a more or less pronounced structuring.
- phase-dependent pulse radar device that is to say that at the intermediate frequency, depending on the distance to the object to be detected, extinctions of the distance maxima occur (cf. FIG. 1); Positive and negative maxima each follow extinctions at intervals of a quarter wavelength ( ⁇ / 4), that is to say at intervals of approximately three millimeters at a carrier frequency of in particular approximately 24 gigahertz.
- the digitized voltage values of the intermediate frequency output or basic signal S of the sampling phase detector device (cf. FIG. 1: the object maximum M marked by the arrow shows on the basis of the
- Sampling phase detector device at "1" a “looping behavior”; at “2” the object is half a wavelength ( ⁇ / 2) compared to "1" postponed; see.
- FIG. 2 the object maximum M marked by the individual arrow lies on a structured background caused by the parasitic Doppler effect; fixed, distance-dependent threshold values are marked by the double arrow) first undergo a digital-to-analog conversion before the background signal S 0 is adaptively determined by locally filtering the output or base signal S by means of a locally median filter of a certain width B.
- the background of the output or base signal S is corrected.
- the correction of the A low-pass filtering of the processed magnitude signal s is provided in the background.
- the positive components and the negative components in the processed magnitude signal s are summed up over several measuring cycles, the low-pass filtering over time being carried out by means of a moving average filter with a certain time constant.
- the object maximum M is determined by means of a location-variable adaptive threshold value t (see FIG. 6) which can be determined from the correlation signal k (see FIG. 6), with the location-variable adaptive threshold t also being determined a distance-dependent offset value ⁇ (see FIG. 6) is applied.
- Peak position that is to say the position of the object maximum M is assigned to a specific distance d of the object by means of a characteristic curve determined by calibration. It should be noted here that the relationship between the signal peak and the distance of the object or to be briefly explained below
