Increasing vehicular safety at intersections by using LFMSK modulated radar sensors

This paper deals with environment perception for automotive application especially in intersection-related scenarios. The recognition of relevant objects within intersection-related scenarios is performed not at least with high performance 24 GHz radar sensors. These sensors are dedicated to detect objects in the surroundings of the equipped demonstrator vehicle. The modulation of the transmit signal plays an important role for precise measurements. In this paper a linear frequency modulated shift keying (LFMSK) measurement principle is proposed.
