Patent 10048353 was granted and assigned to Bosch (company) on August, 2018 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A radar system for transmitting a FMCW radar sensor signal encompassing a series of frequency modulation ramps and phase-modulated with a first code sequence orthogonal to a respective other code sequence with which a time-synchronized transmitted signal of another FMCW radar sensor is phase-modulated; the radar echoes are phase-demodulated with a code sequence correlating with the first code sequence; and a distance and/or a relative speed of a localized object is identified from a Fourier analysis frequency spectrum, in a first dimension over sampled radar echo values of a frequency modulation ramp, and in a second dimension over the phase-demodulated sequence of radar echoes of the ramps of the transmitted signal; and a vehicle fleet radar system having an FMCW radar sensor in which a code set satisfying a code set orthogonality condition with a code set of a radar sensor of another vehicle is used for phase modulation/demodulation.
