Radar (acronym for Radio Detection and Ranging) uses radio waves to detect objects in the environment. It allows determining the distance (known as range), angular position (bearing), and velocity.

How self-driving cars are adding new capabilities as they move from Layer 2 (L2) to L2+ and beyond. How automotive radar systems are designed, and what this means for processors and other components.

Radar and LiDAR are two key technologies for sensing the surrounding environment, widely used in industries such as automotive, robotics, security, and environmental monitoring. The fundamental ...

What types of radar are being used in cars. Key features of NXP’s latest radar chips. Radar has become a mainstay for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and the single radar used for advanced ...

Modern communications and sensing technologies have revolutionized the way cars are designed. To increase safety and move toward autonomous driving (AD), new vehicles must include systems that can ...

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems are pivotal in remote sensing, utilising the relative motion of the sensor to synthesise a large antenna aperture and achieve high-resolution imaging regardless ...

Radar is cropping up everywhere in new car designs: sensing around the car to detect hazards and feed into decision making for braking, steering, and parking and in the cabin for driver and occupancy ...

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) rely heavily on modern radar technology. And why not? Radar uses electromagnetic waves to sense the environment. It can operate over a long distance in poor ...
