76 GHz Automotive Millimeter-wave Radar Using Spread Spectrum Technique

Automotive radar is one of the most important key technologies in sensors for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). It is considered very important to conduct analysis of the results which the radar took under various road conditions. In this paper, we shall report the results of a 76GHz automotive millimeter-wave radar using SS modulation technique, which were evaluated on roads under various situations. For example, multi-path was observed from the results that were analyzed from inside a tunnel. We believe that the results are very useful for development of the object discrimination algorithm.
