Waveguide antenna array for automotive radar
Automotive radars can use the wide band at extremely high frequencies (EHF) between 30 GHz and 300 GHz, which has a higher amount of free frequency bands than the lower part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The focus of this thesis is to develop a horn antenna to work in this band with the central f...

| Summary: | Automotive radars can use the wide band at extremely high frequencies (EHF) between 30 GHz and 300 GHz, which has a higher amount of free frequency bands than the lower part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The focus of this thesis is to develop a horn antenna to work in this band with the central frequency of 77 GHz, a Field of View (FOV) of 20º on Elevation and 130º on Azimuth and a reflection coefficient (S11) below -15 dB. It was possible to accomplish the requirements set by the company with a single horn antenna, which is a less complex and more compact solution. This thesis presents the results with a brief review of a two-element antenna array for possible future works. |
