4. Automotive RADAR – 24 vs. 77 GHz
77 GHz is more challenging for designers: given the same technology
node performance (gain, NF, ..) at 24 GHz are better but 77 GHz RADAR
reduce size, volume, weight and hence cost
77 GHz offers more opportunity for high performance RADAR design:
λ is 3 times smaller (few mm) smaller antenna size for a given beam-
width spec and/or better angular separability for the same size
Combination of high transmit power and high bandwidth available at 77
GHz for long range operation and fine distance separability
Due to SiGe and CMOS technologies evolution 77 GHz is affordable
77-81 GHz (under regulation worldwide) offers 4 GHz Bandwidth with
EIRP max PSD of - 3dBm/MHz (-9 dBm/MHz outside the vehicle)
