ABSTRACT:
An onboard radar system for a vehicle using the FM-CW method is provided. The radar system includes a mode changer. The mode changer provides a first mode which is suitable to detect a target existing distant from the vehicle. The mode changer also provides a second mode which is suitable to detect a target existing nearby the vehicle. The radar system detects a pair of beat frequencies in the first mode. Further, the radar system detects another pair of beat frequencies in the second mode. The radar system detects a target based on a pair of base beat frequencies which are determined based on an analysis result of both pairs of the beat frequencies.
