Radar Unit and Method for Operating a Radar Unit

摘要

A radar unit and a method for operating a radar unit. The method for includes a step of determining a functionality of a receiving channel in a radar unit, wherein the radar unit is configured for transmitting and receiving a signal in a frequency band, and has a control means, a transmission path with a voltage controlled oscillator and an output unit for generating a transmission signal and a transmission antenna for emitting the transmission signal, and a receiving path with at least one receiving channel for receiving, processing and conveying a received signal, wherein the at least one receiving channel has at least one receiving antenna and at least one switchable amplifier, wherein the control means is connected to the transmission path and to the receiving path, and is configured to be able to control the transmission path and the receiving path, wherein the at least one switchable amplifier of the at least one receiving channel is disposed at the input of the receiving channel and is connected to the receiving antenna.
