Driven to massive progress and innovation in SoC techniques and massive AI incorporation, a dramatic trend towards central processing is observed. For vision systems this has been the trend and has led to intelligent central units and simple camera heads. Can we expect the same path in automotive Radar? Assessing digital modulation, interference mitigation and emerging innovation.

For vision systems this has been the trend and has led to intelligent central units and simple camera heads. Can we expect the same path in automotive Radar? Assessing advances in software, security and higher frequency solutions. Is it time for radar to replace ultrasonic sensors for parking? Considering cost, size, field of view and blind spot mitigation. Considering interface options, including SerDes and Ethernet. How will AI impact systems and at what signal processing layer. Are defacto or industry standards emerging for interfaces and MMIC formats? Understanding cost and performance trade-offs for 4x4, 6x6, 8x8 MMICs.
