Abstract :
For automotive millimeter wave applications, SIMMWIC technology provides a low cost alternative to conventional GaAs MMICs. In this paper, we present a 76 GHz radar system adopting the classic principle of multi-beam Doppler navigation systems for automotive applications. Exclusively low cost SIMMWIC components have been employed in the millimeter wave front-end.
