MITIGATING MULTIPATH EFFECT ON RADARS FOR EFFECTIVE TARGET DETECTION

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a first signal associated with a first multipath effect from a first radar installed on a vehicle at a first height, receiving a second signal associated with a second multipath effect from a second radar installed on the vehicle at a second height, wherein the first height and the second height are different, wherein a difference between the first height and the second height is configured to generate a mitigation of the first multipath effect and the second multipath effect, and wherein the first radar and the second radar have an overlapping field of view, and determining that a target exists in the overlapping field of view based on the first signal and the second signal.
