Design of a Leaky-Wave Antenna for a Collision-Avoidance Radar
Thu, 08/03/2018 - 14:30 to 15:30
Location:
Speaker:
Miguel Poveda García PhD Student
Affiliation:
Technical University of Cartagena
Synopsis:
Automotive radars can be used with different purposes, such as blind spot detection, adaptive cruise control or collision avoidance. In these systems, antennas play a key role and, depending on the final aim of the radar, the design requirements in terms of size, operational frequency range or radiation pattern will vary. In this seminar, the design process of a leaky-wave antenna, under a series of specifications, for a collision-avoidance radar will be presented step by step, from the choice of the technology to the difficulties found in the process.
