采用评估模块AWR1642BOOST的短距离雷达(SRR)参考设计TIDEP-0092

The TIDEP-0092 provides a foundation for a shortrange radar (SRR) application using the AWR1642evaluation module (EVM). This design allows the userto estimate and track the position (in the azimuthalplane) and the velocity of objects in its field of view up to 80 m.

Autonomous control of a vehicle provides quality-of-life and safety benefits in addition to making therelatively mundane act of driving safer and less difficult. The quality-of-life features include the ability of avehicle to park itself or to determine whether a lane change is possible and provide features like automaticcruise control—where a vehicle maintains a constant distance with respect to the car ahead of it,essentially tracking the velocity of the car in front of it. Autonomous breaking and collision avoidance aresafety features that prevent accidents caused by driver inattention. These features work by observing thearea in front of a car and alerting the autonomous driving subsystems if obstacles are observed that arelikely to hit the car. Implementing these technologies require a variety of sensors to detect obstacles in theenvironment and track their velocities and positions over time.
