Abstract
Description
field of invention
[0001] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for generating a sequence of waveforms, for example in an obstacle detection system, especially but not limited to blind spots or pre-crash ) used in the alarm system. Background of the invention
[0002] An important type of automotive blind spot or pre-collision warning system uses short bursts of electromagnetic or ultrasonic energy to interrogate a detection zone. Decisions about the presence or absence of obstacles within a predetermined range are then made by appropriately processing the energy backscattered by different objects within the field of view of the system. The detection device is arranged to detect whether the reflected pulse occurs within a certain delay (corresponding to a predetermined range) after the interrogation pulse has been transmitted. Instead of merely detecting the presence of reflected pulses, the analog value of the signal received after each pulse transmissio...
