Study of novel radar technology

The so called 4D radars are new, interesting and emerging sensing technologies. These sensors are based on the radar principle, but can provide few orders of magnitude larger amount of detected points with higher resolution, than the radars of the previous technology generation.

In order to get practical insight, what these novel sensors enable and what challenges are still left, one 4D radar product was acquired for tests.

The tests included situations that used to be challenging for automotive radars, like indoor and container yard environment. Forest environment was explored as a potential new application area. The wall of a building -test turned out to reveal peculiarities of radar sensing. The stationary open field tests were visualising the accuracy and sensitivity of the radar
