Abstract :
The design of a 76 GHz millimeter wave (MMW) radar sensor for autonomous intelligent cruise control (AICC) is presented. This sensor has a range of 100 meters and 3-beam switched antennas for detection of the directions. Signal processing techniques are discussed and results obtained from the experiments on the real highways are presented. The results using different front end is also reported to prove the efficiency of our detection algorithm
