1 overview
When a vehicle equipped with the Nova MRR Lane Change Assistance system makes a lane
change, the system can issue corresponding warnings to avoid accidents. The system
complements the rearview mirror's field of view both inside and outside the car, and is not intended
to completely replace the mirror. When the driver wants to change the lane, the millimeter-wave
radar of the system will sense the driving environment and issue a warning to the driver if the lane
change is not recommended.

3 Installation Instructions
3.1 Installation Instructions
3.1.1 Installation height
The NOVA corner radar is recommended to be installed inside the rear bumper. The specific location
requirements are as follows (see Figure 3 below):
Installation height range for best performance: 0.3m—0.8m;
Installation width range for best performance: within 0.35m from the side of the vehicle body.

0.3m
0.8m

3.1.2 Installation angle
NOVA angle radar should be installed at both ends of the vehicle side rear. Figure 4 shows a
schematic diagram of the three-dimensional angle of the radar. The α direction is the installation
azimuth angle, and the installation angle is ±40°; the β direction is the installation pitch angle, and
the installation angle is +8°.

3.1.3 Installation error
The installation error of NOVA angle radar must meet the requirements of the following table to ensure
the accuracy of radar detection angle and make the radar work normally. When calibrating the radar

installation angle, the vehicle must stay on a horizontal plane to avoid tilting the body.

Vertical angle error: ±1°
3.2 Bumper or Obstruction Restrictions
3.2.1 Basic requirements
Ideal situation: The radar beam covers the direction without any metal parts or painted bumpers.
General situation: The corner radar is usually installed in the bumper at the rear of the vehicle, so
special attention should be paid to the material selection, shape design, paint and relative position
of the bumper or cover. At the same time, water droplets, water film and snow accumulation on the
surface of the occluder may cause additional signal attenuation and further lead to limited
performance and functionality.
3.2.2 Bumper Material Requirements
There should be no obstructions (including bumpers) in front of the radar. If the obstructions or
bumpers are unavoidable, the materials of the obstructions must have a small dielectric constant and
dielectric loss. These materials include Polypropylene, Polyamide, Polycarbonate, ABS (Acrylnitril-
Butadien-Styrol), PC-PBT (Polycarbonate Type), etc. These materials should reduce the use of metal
and carbon fiber, and the surface of the material should not contain metal or metal material coatings.
The following table shows the material parameters of commonly used bumpers or coverings.

3.2.3 Bumper Thickness Requirements
In order to ensure that the radar achieves high conductivity, the thickness of the bumper needs to be
selected carefully. Among the above mentioned materials,the thickness of the bumper should be an
integer multiple of half the wavelength of the 77GHz millimeter-wave radar. Such as ABS material
bumper thick the degree should be n*1.2mm (in the 77GHz range, n=1, 2, ...). Attenuation increases
with bumper thickness increase and increase.
In order to prevent the radar beam from being distorted, the bumper should be kept as flat as possible,
and the thickness should be uniform,any slight bend can have a big impact on the radar beam.
3.2.4 Bumper shape requirements
The surface of the bumper or shield must be smooth (roughness should be less than one-tenth of a
wavelength, about 400 microns), uniform in thickness, and its radius of curvature should be as large
as possible (small curvature) to reduce distortion and attenuation of the radar beam . Figure 8
shows the influence of the shape of the bumper on the radar performance, from left to right are
bumper digging (completely unobstructed), parallel, small curvature, thickness gradient, and sharp edge.
