Plenary Session IV


09:00 Plenary talk: The challenge of EM simulation for the design of automotive radar frontends

Marta Martinez-Vazquez
Renesas Electronics Europe GmbH (Germany)

This presentation analyses the trends for automotive radar systems, including high-definition imaging and new sensor architectures. The focus will be on RF performance and its impacts on the frontend design. Design bottlenecks like the interface between the MMIC and the radar board, electromagnetic interference or the effect of the casing and the fascia will be discussed.

09:35 Plenary talk: Gap Waveguide Technology Helps Design Efficient Antennas Arrays for mmWave Applications

online, live

Ahmed A. Kishk
Concordia University (Canada)

Gap waveguide (GWG) technology will be introduced in this talk, which is a highly efficient guiding structure at millimeter-wave bands. It is self-packaged with no radiation losses. Based on this technology, several highly efficient antenna arrays will be presented. In addition, examples of added functions to the arrays will be presented, such as Diplexers separating transmit and receive bands and monopulse array with compact comparable based on the gap waveguide technology, and leaky-wave antenna array for frequency scanning properties.
