Abstract

In the field of automotive technology, the last decade has seen a rise in projects focusing on self driving vehicles. With this renewed interest from the industry and academic world, new solutions to improve the reliability and safety of these vehicles are required. In this thesis, a new method for information sharing between different vehicles is discussed. This method makes use of radar devices, already in use in the automotive sector for obstacles detection. More specifically, a communication channel will be created between two frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar devices, using the same waveform utilized for radar sensing. This work will focus on the obstacles to overcome in order to achieve correct data transmission between two radar devices. Different solutions will be evaluated, and a working system, achieving data transmission, will be implemented using radar evaluation boards provided by NXP semiconductors.
