Abstract :
In this paper the requirements for low-THz automotive sensors are presented with the focus on THz imaging of the terrain in front of the vehicle. Initial imaging performance at 150 GHz radar is demonstrated and a planned extension using an advanced 300 GHz radar system is described. Antenna requirements for these systems are discussed.
