A MEMS Based Radar Sensor for Automotive Collision Avoidance<br />
Ahmad Sinjari, Ph.D. Student<br />
Supervisor: Dr. S. Chowdhury<br />
Rotman Lens Die Photo<br />
The system foot print area is about 2.5 x<br />
1.0 inches square before packaging.<br />
• Development <strong>of</strong> a MEMS based long range (150-200m) radar sensor operating at 77 GHz for an<br />
automotive collision avoidance system is in progress.<br />
• This relatively simpler device enables a high reliability solid state directional scan-and-range system<br />
where a narrow radar beam is steered using a MEMS Rotman lens and RF switch combination to<br />
scan the target area.<br />
• Major components <strong>of</strong> the system include: a MEMS RF switch, a MEMS Rotman lens and a MEMS<br />
microstrip antenna array that are to be packaged as a single unit.<br />
