Abstract :
This paper presents the electromagnetic modelling and design of 77 GHz antenna array for automotive applications, in Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic. The designed single antenna element has a bandwidth of 6.75 GHz and a gain of 6.2 dBi. The 2times2 antenna array shows a gain greater than 11 dBi between 73 and 79 GHz.
