Localization of Autonomous Vehicle using 1D Automotive Radar Sensor: Car localization based on Radar and LIDAR Fusion

The overall purpose of this study is to establish novel methods of vehicle localization and mapping using a 1D linear automotive radar array in conjuncture with pre-existing lidar maps, and to test if the generated radar map can be made to be 3 dimensional. The reason for creating a novel localization method was to try and alleviate some of the...

Improvement of Hybrid Codes for MIMO radar using multi-pulse waveforms and signal processing: Theoretical analysis and experimental evaluation

According to literature, MIMO radars often use orthogonal waveforms on their different channels to achieve a wide angular beam and so-called colored transmission. The generation of orthogonal signals is very difficult and true orthogonality cannot be achieved in practice. The Circulating Codes provide a simplified alternative to orthogonal...

UWB FMCW Radar for Concealed Weapon Detection: RF front-end development

Current methods for concealed weapon detection are mainly used at stationary security check-points due to complexity and other serious limitations for real-time outdoor scenarios. A mobile imaging radar is considered as a proper solution for fast screening of people at mass events because of its ability to detect both metal and non-metal weapons...
