Analysis and Design of Microstrip Patch Antenna at 60 Ghz for Automotive

Abstract

The automotive radar antenna array analysis and design have been presented for use in 60GHz short range automotive collision avoidance radar. Today’s automation needs to have the efficient antenna devices so that road safety can be improved to a large extent. The first portion of the thesis gives the basic idea behind the selection of 60 GHz radio band for short range automotive radar and the basics of the automotive radar technology. The second d part comprises of the detailed explanation of the microstrip patch antennas their design procedure and the considerations. It includes the information of patch antenna array for improving the gain in the automotive radar. CST studio suit is employed for all the design and the performance analysis of the microstrip antenna as well as for array of elements.
