Abstract
For a typical frequency modulated continuous wave automotive radar system, a design using a novel leaky-wave antenna is proposed that has a simple, cheap and easy manufacturing structure whose performance is compared with two different antenna arrays. The software used were MATLAB and CST Microwave Studio. The first antenna system was an inset-fed patch array, and the second antenna system was a circular patch array with a Buttler beamforming network as a beam scanning mechanism. The simulation results of the three proposed designs are obtained using the range-Doppler method for multi-target scenarios. The proposed leaky-wave antenna excels the antenna arrays, which offer cheaper and simpler solutions for the automotive industry.
