DETERMINATION OF AN ELEVATION MISALIGNMENT ANGLE OF A RADAR SENSOR OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining an elevation misalignment angle (&phgr;) of a radar sensor (10) of a vehicle, comprising the steps: determination of elevation angles (α) of radar object locations in relation to a coordinate system of the radar sensor (10), wherein an elevation angle (α) of each radar objection location is determined based on radar echoes that are received having at least two antenna alignment characteristics (20, 21) that differ in the elevation direction; and determination of an elevation misalignment angle (&phgr;) based on a frequency distribution of the elevation angle (α) of at least some of the radar object locations; and radar sensor for vehicles having an evaluation device (15) configured for carrying out the method.
