76 GHz collision warning transceiver component requirements and current status

This paper presents a summary of requirements and status of transceiver components as applicable to collision warning systems operating at 76 GHz. The paper will include a brief description of applicable radar architectures that are possible solutions to the collision warning scenarios being developed today. The individual circuit components required in each architecture will be described along with a listing of key performance parameters and the expected specifications for these parameters. The paper will also describe development status of components as known today, identifying what is in use and what is under development for future systems. Target costs, volumes and areas of concern relative to meeting performance and cost targets will be discussed
