24GHz/76GHz Automotive Radar

 
    Description
The automotive market is using mm-wave frequency for range estimation. Both near and far range sensors are being developed. The emerging requirements of large volume mm-components has created new challenges of designing with "course" lithographic tolerance used in PCB technology. Integrating the chipset into an RF module can be a problematic issue and requires careful attention. In addition, the high mm-wave frequencies have some unique issues such as measurements, moding and coupling. Anokiwave can help you develop products for the automotive market by:
  Key Features
  • Statistical EM simulations
  • Design centering using EM simulation
  • Working closely with manufacturing and as a team member to identify the key parameters to optimize and design center
  • Designing process tolerant components
  • Configuring the RF module architecture
  • Designing difficult components such as passive multipliers and transitions

 

Anokiwave has extensive experience with working and designing automotive products. For example, Nitin Jain, the firm's CTO, was technically responsible and conceived the 77 GHz mm-module design presented in the paper titled "A 76-77GHz PULSED-DOPPLER RADAR MODULE FORAUTONOMOUS CRUISE CONTROL APPLICATIONS". On first assemble and test, the design worked as predicted with no tuning or metal etching and met all the design specifications.

 

Some of the design examples related to mm-wave design experience are:

  • 10 bit to 16 bit high resolution digitial to anlaog conveter
NOTE: Design specifications are subject to change. Anokiwave does not warranty any of the listed performance.
