LEAKY CABLE BASED METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMOTIVE PARKING AID, REVERSING AID, AND PRE-COLLISION SENSING

摘要

A leaky cable object detection system (10) for a vehicle (12) includes a transmitter (20) coupled to a leaky cable antenna (29) and transmitting a first object detection signal (64). A receiver (26) is electronically coupled to the leaky cable antenna (29) and receives a second object detection signal (65) formed by reflection of the first object detection signal on an object (69). A controller (18) is electrically coupled to the transmitter (20) and the receiver (26) and generates a countermeasure signal in response to the second object detection signal (65).
