RADAR FOR VEHICLE AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A radar for a vehicle, comprising:
- Tx antennas for a middle range;
Tx antennas for a short range;
Rx antenna columns for a middle range each configured to have a long shape vertically and be horizontally disposed;
Rx antenna columns for a short range each configured to have a long shape vertically and be disposed between some of the Rx antenna columns for the middle range; and
a control unit configured to process signals of radio waves that are reflected from a specific object after the radio waves are radiated by the Tx antennas for the middle range and that are received by the Rx antenna columns for the middle range or signals of radio waves that are reflected from a specific object after the radio waves are radiated by the Tx antennas for the short range and that are received by the Rx antenna columns for the short range.

8. A method of operating a radar for a vehicle, comprising Tx antennas for a middle range, Tx antennas for a short range, Rx antenna columns for a middle range each configured to have a long shape vertically and be horizontally disposed, and Rx antenna columns for a short range each configured to have a long shape vertically and be horizontally disposed, the method comprising:
-
connecting the Tx antennas for the middle range to transmission lines; tracking a middle range object based on signals of radio waves that have been reflected from a specific object after the radio waves are radiated by the Tx antennas for the middle range and that have been received by the Rx antenna columns for the middle range; connecting the Tx antennas for the short range to an output line; and tracking a short range object based on signals of radio waves that have been reflected from a specific object after the radio waves are radiated by the Tx antennas for the short range and that have been received by the Rx antenna columns for the short range. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
