Abstract

A method and apparatus with vehicle radar control is disclosed. An apparatus with vehicle radar control includes a radio frequency (RF) transceiver including a transmitting antenna array and a receiving antenna array, and at least one processor configured to collect environmental information of the vehicle, determine a radar mode of the vehicle based on the collected environmental information, generate one or more control signal configured to control one or more of the transmitting antenna array and the receiving antenna array based on the determined radar mode, and provide the generated one or more control signals to the RF transceiver, wherein one or more of the transmitting antenna array and the receiving antenna array operate according to the one or more generated control signals.

Claims (13)

1 . A vehicle radar control method, the method comprising:

collecting internal environmental information of the vehicle;

determining, from among a plurality of radar modes corresponding to different detectable azimuths, a radar mode of the vehicle based on the collected internal environmental information, and

performing beamsteering by controlling either one or both of a transmitting antenna array and a receiving antenna array of the vehicle based on the determined radar mode.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the internal environmental information comprises at least one of a rotational angle of vehicle obtained through a steering wheel of the vehicle and IMU sensor of the vehicle.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the internal environmental information comprises a rotation angle of the vehicle through a steering wheel of the vehicle.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein in response to a first rotation angle of the vehicle is bigger than the second rotation angle of the vehicle, a first radar mode determined for the first rotation angle corresponds to a broader field of view than a second radar mode determined for the second rotational angle.

5 . An apparatus comprising:

a processor, and

a memory coupled to the processor, storing a computer program which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to implement the method of claim 1 .

6 . A vehicle comprising:

a processor, and

a memory coupled to the processor, storing a computer program which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to implement the method of claim 1 .
