Ray Tracing for Range-Doppler Simulation of 77 GHz Automotive Scenarios

This paper presents two different ray tracing approaches for the generation of synthetic scattered field strength data in automotive scenarios. The aim is to provide data which is accurate in amplitude and phase and can be used in signal processing algorithms. As an example, range-Doppler maps are calculated here, showing the capability and limitations of both approaches. Also prospects for improvement of both methods are discussed.
