Description

Radar is an acronym for “Radio Detection and Ranging” – in short it means: radio-based detection and distance measurement. A radar sensor is a beam-based sensor and is used to detect objects, for example other vehicles and pedestrians, and measure their distance to the vehicle, and their relative speeds. They work by emitting electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic waves reflected by the objects are received and evaluated: the measured values are converted into electrical signals, which are evaluated in special control units.
