METHOD FOR SELF-MONITORING, AND RADAR SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18455369 titled 'METHOD FOR SELF-MONITORING, AND RADAR SENSOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for self-monitoring of a radar sensor during object detection using a measurement signal and a test signal encoded for differentiation.

  • Radar sensor self-monitoring during object detection
  • Measurement signal and test signal encoded for differentiation
  • Signal encoding for test signal differentiation
  • Object detection based on measurement process
  • Self-monitoring carried out during measurement process

Original Abstract Submitted

A method for self-monitoring of a radar sensor, which carries out object detection of an object by way of a measurement process on the basis of a measurement signal and is monitored by way of self-monitoring carried out during the measurement process using a test signal superimposed on the measurement signal. The test signal is encoded by signal encoding such that it can be differentiated from the measurement signal. A radar sensor is also described.
