Join ABB and work in a team that is dedicated to creating a future where innovative digital technologies allow greater access to cleaner energy.
ABB Jokab Safety R&D department develops functional safety products for use in industrial applications to avoid injuries and deaths. The products that are developed must be free from systematic faults, which means that the development must be state of the art, follow applicable standards and undergo rigorous third parity reviews and tests.
The ABB Jokab Safety product range is very wide, covering emergency stops to advanced safety PLCs. The products mainly consist of mechanics, HW electronics and embedded SW.
The existence of powerful analog to digital converters (ADC) have enabled radar systems relying upon high speed sampling. Modern radar system development is thus focused on digital signal and data processing. Their performance is to a large extent set by algorithms and software architecture. Cost-effective radar sensor modules (RM) comprising rudimentary digital signal processing (DSP) are ideal building blocks of more complex systems: The characteristic of safety systems is extreme reliability, while radar systems traditionally struggles with reliability. Aggregating data from many RMs and processing in an evaluation unit (EU) may be one way to resolve this contradiction.
This thesis develops software of a multi-sensor radar system, encompassing data acquisition, signal processing, algorithm optimization and graphical presentation. The study targets implementation of the proposed software architecture in a demonstrator, comprising at least two RMs and a laptop serving as the evaluation unit.
