This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18367427 titled 'RADAR SYSTEM TRANSMITTER BEAMFORMING USING OCCUPANCY MAP DATA
Original Abstract Submitted
A device may include at least one transmitter unit and at least one receiver unit, wherein the at least one transmitter unit and the at least one receiver unit are configured to transmit and receive radar signals, wherein the at least one transmitter unit and the at least one receiver unit are co-located with a vehicle. A device may include a radar processor, configured to: determine an occupancy map, wherein the occupancy map identifies a location of an object with respect to the automotive radar system, determine, using the occupancy map, a beamforming weight vector w, and transmit, using the at least one transmitter unit, the radar signal using the beamforming weight vector w.
