Partial covering radome for a radar unit |
摘要 |
A sensor assembly that integrates a camera and a radar sensor is described herein. The sensor assembly includes a housing configured to partially enclose the camera and the radar sensor, and define a partial radome that partially intrudes into the radar beam. The partial radome is configured such that after passing through the partial radome a first phase angle of the first portion of the radar beam differs from a second phase angle of the second portion of the radar beam by an amount substantially corresponding to an integer number of three hundred sixty degrees (360°) of phase angle shift. The partial radome provides glare shield to the camera, protection to assembly, and is configured to minimally effect radar performance. |

1. A sensor assembly comprising:
a camera configured to capture an image based on a light wave received from a camera field of view; a radar sensor configured to emit a radar beam toward a radar field of view and receive a reflected radar signal from the radar field of view, wherein said radar field of view substantially corresponds to the camera field of view; and a partial radome configured such that a first portion of the radar beam passes through the partial radome and a second portion of the radar beam bypasses the partial radome. |
