Abstract :
Radar is the key technology for future automotive distance warning systems. Cost and production issues are still the major inhibitor to the development of this market. This paper reports on a new 77 GHz sensor module based on state-of-the-art MMICs and flip-chip technology. The implemented completely coplanar design is very attractive in terms of production simplicity.
