4 Hardware Description
The NB RADAR is a fully integrated 24GHz radar sensor with both RF and DSP modules on the same
PCB. The design supports a combination of pulsed Doppler and chirped FM waveforms that can detect
moving or stationary vehicles in a high clutter environment.
The sensor’s DSP – a multicore processor - controls all signal processing, diagnostics and
communications. The RF module generates, transmits, receives and demodulates radar signals using two
Veoneer MMICs. Software algorithms calculate target parameters such as range, speed and angle and
this information is sent out to the vehicle over the CAN bus.
The components are assembled into a plastic housing that is laser welded together. The sensor has no
serviceable parts and can’t be opened without permanent damage.
