Basic Radar System for Automotive ADAS

Radar systems even though are in existence from long time, their application in consumer technology is seeing the light of day now. With advances in antenna design and semiconductor manufacturing, cost of a radar chipset is drastically reducing down. Making it ideal solution of automotive ADAS application.

Radar in general is classified in to SRR (Short range radar), MRR (Medium range radar) and LRR (Long range radar). It is because of this radar has various application in automotive ADAS like-

• Blind spot monitoring
• Park assists
• Surround view
• Lane change assists
• Cross traffic alert
• Driver health monitoring

This whitepaper explains in detail ADAS system, SAE safety standards, Radar fundamentals and Radar measurements for target localization, classification, and tracking.
