Sub-THz Antennas for Next Generation Automotive Radars (STANGAR)

This is a research project of collaboration between the Tera-Hertz Sensing (TS) Group of the Micro Electronics Department of TU Delft and NXP Semi-conductors. The general topic of collaboration is in the development of high frequency (front-ends for next generation automotive sensing systems. Specifically the TS  group will leverage its experience in the design of Advanced Antenna Architectures and Quasi Optics to propose innovative solutions to increase the resolution of the mentioned front-ends. The activity will involve the design and demonstration of dielectric lens antenna arrays in combination with wide angle scanning planar arrays, both for long range detections and for medium and close detections. We will also investigate the potentials of using the same high frequency front-ends for communication purposes.
