Ultra-low phase-noise frequency synthesizer for autonomous car

Patent Number: US 10348313

ABSTRACT

An object detection system for autonomous vehicles, comprising a radar unit and at least one ultra-low phase noise frequency synthesizer, is provided.

The radar unit is configured for detecting the presence and characteristics of one or more objects in various directions.

ultra-low phase-noise frequency synthesizer for autonomous vehicles

Embodiments of the present disclosure are generally related to sensors for autonomous vehicles

(for example, Self-Driving Cars) and in particular to systems that provide ultra-low phase noise frequency generation for Radar Application for autonomous vehicles.

BACKGROUND

Autonomous Cars:

Levels of Autonomous Cars:

According to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), there are six levels of automation.

Level 0 means no automation, and Level 5 means complete automation where the car can drive itself under all conditions.
