AUTOMOTIVE RADAR TRANSMITTER AND RADAR SIGNAL GENERATING METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to a RADAR transmitter for use in automotive vehicles, a method for generating a respective RADAR transmission signal and a modulation signal for control of an oscillating means for generation of the RADAR transmission signal. The RADAR signal, which may be generated according to the method of the invention by the transmitter by using a control signal for control of an oscillating means according to the invention, has a frequency spectrum with predetermined frequencies omitted such that it can easily comply with applicable regulations specified by the respective authorities. Therefore, the method, transmitter and modulation signal of the invention may also be used in any other RADAR applications where a frequency modulated RADAR signal is to be used and certain regulations with respect to the allowed use of transmission frequencies are to be met.
