The present disclosure relates to a vehicle radar, a vehicle radar controlling method, and a vehicle radar controlling system. Specifically, the vehicle radar includes a signal transmitter which transmits a transmission signal for detecting a target object, a signal receiver which receives a reception signal including a target signal generated by the transmission signal being reflected by the target object, and a signal processor which processes the reception signal to form a frequency spectrum of the reception signal. Specifically, the signal processor determines a window size based on the frequency spectrum of the reception signal, determines spectrum similarity between an up-chirp frequency and a down-chirp frequency based on the determined window size, and determines a length of the target object if the spectrum similarity is greater than a preset threshold value.

This document describes techniques and systems for an adaptive ray-launcher for an electromagnetic response simulator. An adaptive ray-launching process is used to shoot electromagnetic rays at targets in a simulated environment. Uniformly distributed sparse electromagnetic rays are launched at the targets and the angular ray densities relative to the targets are calculated. Several propagation paths that include multipath effects are considered to determine the angular ray densities. Based on the length of the propagation paths of sparse electromagnetic rays with multipath related to each target, denser electromagnetic rays can be launched. The denser electromagnetic rays enable the fidelity related to targets in a far-range to be similar to the fidelity of closer targets. Additionally, any sparse electromagnetics that cannot be detected by a sensor can be disregarded. In this manner, an efficient and accurate electromagnetic response model may be approximated.
