  • Title:
    mm-Wave radar-based measurement methods: scientific and industrial applications

  • Keywords:

    mm-Wave radar, radar testing and calibration in ADAS, uncertainty, displacement and vibration measurement

  • Description:

    Research focuses on the study and proposal of measurement methods based on mm-Wave radars, to be used as measurement technology for vibration and displacement in several application contexts. In the automotive sector, radars play a critical role as safety devices in ADAS systems, however no mandatory calibration and re-calibration procedures have been set for the automotive sector, nor minimum requirements in terms of measurement uncertainty, accuracy, stability and reproducibility. The research aims to address these aspects overall the complete measurement chain, from the radar sensor hardware to the software-based radar signal processing for the extraction of the measurement information. Methods for displacement and vibration measurement are developed, based on mmWave FMCW automotive radars, for industrial applications (in-line quality inspection) and for innovative UAVs-based services and solutions, spanning from agriculture to surveillance and homeland security.
