Reliability
Just the way you can
receive radio and television programs
indoors, outdoors and in any kind of weather, Radar
systems can be protected behind non-metal sections
of your car. Typically this is
behind the fascia, the plastic shroud
that covers the rear bumper.
The sensors
are out of sight, protected from the
weather. Radar signals are radio
waves and not affected by light, dark.
They are less affected by fog,
rain, snow or dust than other sensors. Radar
sensors are the most reliable remote sensing and imaging technology available today.
Vehicle Integration
How are blind-spot
systems designed for cars now on the market? That depends on
the automaker. Each automaker has their preferred way of
designing the information interface. Regardless of the final
design, one thing is sure. The system is simple to use, drivers
do not have to learn any operating procedure. It's always
there- and always watching for problems in your blind-spot.
You can drive stress free.

How Radar Works
Radar is the technology of transmitting
very high frequency radio waves and receiving the reflected
signals. If there is no object in range- the reflected signal
is very weak. If an object is within range- the signal is
strong. Radar systems measure the time it takes to receive
the transmitted signal back. The farther the object, the
longer the signal difference between transmit and
receive. Since radar signals travel at the speed
of light, measuring the minute difference
between transmit and receive for a distance of
50 meters requires highly precise systems. This
is part of the very specialized experience that Raytheon
brings to these solutions. |
