The invention describes a method for reducing interference effects in a radar system, which has at least two transceiver units (S1, S2), which are in particular spatially separated from one another, wherein the method comprises the following steps: —a transmission step (VS1), in which a first transmission signal (sigTX1) of the first transceiver unit (S1) is sent and received to and by a second transceiver unit (S2) and a second transmission signal (sigTX2) of the second transceiver unit (S2) is sent and received to and by the first transceiver unit (S1) via a radio channel (T), wherein the transmission signals (sigTX1, sigTX2) are modulated according to an orthogonal frequency multiplex method; and—a pre-correction step (VS2), in which correction values (γ1, γn, γ2) are determined from the received transmission signals (sigTX1, sigTX2) and in particular are exchanged between the transceiver stations (S1, S2), wherein the received transmission signals (sigRX1, sigRX2) are postprocessed on the basis of the correction values (γ1, γn, γ2), so that influences of interference variables, in particular of phase noise and/or a time offset and/or unknown initial phase positions, are reduced.

A method for manufacturing a heatable plastic component for a motor vehicle, which includes: providing a planar heating film, which has a first surface and a second surface that faces away from and is opposite the first surface, including at least one heating wire and connecting elements; introducing the planar heating film into an injection mold; mounting a connector housing onto the connecting elements; and back-molding the first surface with a plastic for manufacturing a first partial element of the heatable plastic component in the injection mold. In order to provide an improved method for manufacturing a heatable plastic component, it is proposed that a back-molding of the second surface with a plastic for manufacturing a second partial element of the heatable plastic component in the injection mold takes place such that a composite is formed from the first partial element, the planar heating film and the second partial element.

A vehicle lamp mounted on a vehicle includes: a lamp housing; a lamp cover that covers an opening of the lamp housing; at least one illumination unit disposed in a lamp chamber formed by the lamp housing and the lamp cover; a radar disposed in the lamp chamber and configured to acquire radar data indicating a surrounding environment of the vehicle by emitting a radio wave to an outside of the vehicle; and a dielectric lens disposed in front of the radar and configured to allow the radio wave emitted from the radar to pass therethrough. The dielectric lens is configured to narrow a spread angle of the radio wave emitted from the radar.

A target detection method includes a radar apparatus that performs at least one interference sensing on a plurality of first time domain resources and determines a second time-frequency resource used for target detection in a first time-frequency resource based on a result of the at least one interference sensing. The first time domain resources are a subset of time domain resources corresponding to a time-frequency resource of a first detection apparatus, and the first time-frequency resource is the time-frequency resource of the first detection apparatus.

This document describes techniques, apparatuses, and systems for radar interference mitigation using signal pattern matching. Radar signals (e.g., chirps) received by a radar system may include interference from other nearby radar systems. The interference can result in reduced sensitivity of the radar system. The techniques, apparatuses, and systems described herein mitigate the interference by selecting an uncorrupted segment of the radar signal that neighbors a corrupted segment, analyzing the radar signal to identify a match segment that has similar signal characteristics to the neighbor segment, and replacing the corrupted segment with a segment that is adjacent to the match segment. In this manner, a noise floor of the radar system may be lowered, leading to increased sensitivity.

A method includes obtaining configuration information for a radio interface between an electronic device and a base station. The method includes determining uplink transmission information based on the obtained configuration information. The uplink transmission information includes: an indication of one or more types of uplink channels in a plurality of communication time slots (CTSs) of the radio interface; a transmission start time for each of the one or more types of uplink channels; and a transmission duration for each of the one or more types of uplink channels. The method includes, for one or more of the plurality of CTSs: determining, based on the transmission start time, whether the one or more CTSs on the radio interface is occupied; and in response to a determination that the one or more CTSs on the radio interface is not occupied, performing radar operations during a remainder of the transmission duration.

A radar device is disclosed including an input DMA module, at least one processing module, and an output DMA module. The input DMA module is arranged to access a memory and supply data from the memory to the at least one processing module, wherein each of the processing modules is arranged to be enabled or disabled. The at least one processing module that is enabled is arranged to process at least a portion of the data supplied by the input DMA module, and the output DMA module is arranged to store the data that are processed by the at least one processing module that is enabled in the memory. Also, a method for processing data by a radar device is provided.

Technologies are described herein that are configured to identity detections output by a frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar system that are caused by an interfering signal. The detections are detected as being caused by an interferer based upon numbers of detections assigned to bins in a velocity-direction histogram.

A vehicle may have a vehicle body and one or more movable sensors mounted to the body. A movable sensor may be rotated, linearly translated, or otherwise moved between multiple positions in response to location information, driving mode information, vehicle speed, and/or other information. The movable sensor may be moved to track objects, to provide pedestrians and others with visual feedback, to allow the sensor to gather desired sensor information to support driver assistance and autonomous driving operations, to place the sensor in a stowed position, and to perform other functions. The movable sensor may be protected with a movable cover. A cleaner may clean the sensor. The sensor may be a radar sensor, lidar sensor, camera, or other sensor. Information from the sensor may be used to detect roadway obstructions, to detect objects near the vehicle, to monitor pedestrians, and to monitor other conditions.

A radar detection apparatus for creating discrete zones of no alert coverage for unwanted radar sources according to the environmental conditions of the location of the radar source and surrounding areas.
