Abstract
Antennnas for automotive radar sensors at 79GHz
In this thesis low-cost planar antennas for 79GHz automotive radar systems are
investigated. Considering state of the art antennas in current radar systems, two
different antenna concepts are studied.
First, substrate integrated waveguide slot antennas using a synthetic waveguide
formed in a laminate are researched. An equivalent circuit model using precomputed
full-wave simulation data is used to precisely control the exhibited radiation
pattern in order to meet the automotive radar...
