<p>An object detection system (22) adapted for use on a motor vehicle (20) during backup operations is remotely programmable. Sensor parameters can be redefined at time of installation and can be made dependent on velocity. Alarm characteristics can also be determined through programming. The same unit (22) can thus be adapted to operate with a wide variety of different vehicle platforms, and can be customized to individual drivers or types of drivers. The sensor (22) includes a digital-to-analog converter (194) used to tuen the microwave oscillator (112). Such tuning control allows for automatic calibration at the time of final test and manufacturing.</p> |
