Abstract: A method of assembling a camera assembly for a vehicular vision system includes providing a first housing portion, providing a printed circuit board (PCB), the PCB including circuitry, providing a mating connector at the PCB, disposing the PCB within the first housing portion, providing a second housing portion including a connector portion configured for connecting to a vehicle wiring, and disposing a coaxial connector at the connector portion of the second housing portion. The coaxial connector includes (i) a core connector element and (ii) a shield connector element that circumscribes the core connector element and that is spaced therefrom. Mating the second housing portion with the first housing portion, and electrically connecting a first end of the coaxial connector to the mating connector disposed at the PCB. The coaxial connector includes a second end for electrically connecting to the vehicle wiring when the camera assembly is installed at the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes a plurality of imaging sensors disposed at a vehicle and having respective exterior fields of view, each of the imaging sensors capturing respective image data. The imaging sensors are connected to a control via respective ones of a plurality of single core coaxial cables. The control is disposed at the vehicle and includes (i) a data processor and (ii) a DC power supply. Each single core coaxial cable commonly carries (i) image data from the respective imaging sensor to the control for processing and (ii) power from the DC power supply of the control to the respective imaging sensor. Each of the imaging sensors is in bidirectional communication with the control over the respective single core coaxial cable, with signal attenuation being below 100 dB at a frequency of 1 GHz per 100 m length of the respective single core coaxial cable.

Abstract: A method for assembling a camera suitable for use for a vision system of a vehicle includes providing a circuit board having first and second sides separated by a thickness of the circuit board. An imager is disposed at the first side of the circuit board and connecting circuitry is disposed at the second side of the circuit board. Solder pads are provided at the connecting circuitry at the second side of the circuit board. A coaxial connector is aligned at the solder pads at the connecting circuitry. The coaxial connector is soldered at the connecting circuitry via the solder pads. The solder pads may include a plurality of outer solder pads and at least one inner solder pad for connecting to respective contact portions of the coaxial connector.

Abstract: A vision system for a vehicle includes a plurality of imaging sensors disposed at the vehicle and having respective exterior fields of view, with each of the imaging sensors capturing image data. The imaging sensors are connected to a control via respective ones of a plurality of single core coaxial cables. Each single core coaxial cable commonly carries (i) image data from the respective imaging sensor, (ii) power to the respective imaging sensor and (iii) communication data. Each of the imaging sensors is operable to transmit calibration data to the control. Each of the imaging sensors transmits calibration data when the respective imaging sensor is triggered to transmit calibration data. The vision system, responsive to receipt of calibration data by the control, is operable to identify the respective one of the imaging sensors transmitting the received calibration data.
