1 Introduction Radar proximity sensor (RPS) is a hazard monitoring sensor that overcomes the challenges of visionsensing in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to realise L2/L3 applications by providing direct measurement of range, velocity and angle of arrival in azimuth and elevation. It offers a safer, efficient, and easier driving experience which is built upon FMCW MIMO technology in the millimeter wave (mmWave) 77-81 GHz band utilising a wide 4GHz bandwidth.
2 Product profile 2.1 Description Figure 1: Radar proximity sensor block diagram As depicted in figure above, the sensor comprises two printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA) namely RF Board and Host Board which are connected internally through a board-to-board connector. The sensor interfaces with rest of the system through an external connector which brings power and system communication bus to the sensor.
Ingress protection IP67, IPx9K Operating temperature range -40 to + 75°C Mechanical RPSS Dimensions 80 x 90 x 18 mm OA Weight 150g / 0.015kg Radar Properties Frequency of operation 77-81GHz band Antenna array 3x Transmit antenna, +12dBm/antenna 4x Receive antenna Radio certification FCC/RED/ETSI Data Output Point cloud, clusters, trackers (depending upon radar mode and customer requirement) Adjustable depending upon use case, radar mode and sensor integration Type Data rate 2.
2.4 Dimensions and part marking Figure 3: Dimensions and part marking 2.5 Operating the sensor 2.5.1 Hardware and software setup • Connect the RPSS device to the CAN bus • Connect the other end of the CAN bus to the PEAK PCAN USB adapter and to a power supply (Voltage should be set between 12V and 20V and 2Amp max). • Connect the PEAK PCAN USB adapter to a free USB port on the laptop.
• Click on the “Start range profiles” button to display the sensors’ range profile external GUIs. You should see a range profile graph showing on the “Red sensor – Range Profile” window only.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
