RESEARCH CENTRE FOR INTEGRATED MICROSYSTEMS - UNIVERSITY OF WINDSOR<br />

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 />
