Recent 79GHz chipset solutions using antenna-in package approach were developed for various applications with a wide beamwidth and low gain. However, for some applications such as multiple people vital sings detection and corridor gait monitoring, there is still a need to achieve higher gain with thinner beamwidth, to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the transmit/receive range of the system, mitigate the reflection from surrounding objects as well as reduce multi-path effects. The use of a lens is an appealing solution since it could improve the system performances while using existing chipset solution. Using low cost and rapid manufacturing 3D printing technology, we designed and fabricated a dielectric lens antenna for a 79GHz MIMO radar. Compared with the system without lens, the full-wave simulation demonstrated a 14dB improvement in gain which is in good agreement with measurement results.","PeriodicalId":135770,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and North American Radio Science Meeting","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121789135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thereby it is essential to improve the resolution through scattering the reflected envelope signal. Assuming the bumper installed in front of the radar, then the key of resolution enhancement resides in the backward scattering, or to say, the monostatic radar cross-section (RCS) reduction. This paper presents a hollow substrate with square unit cells, which form an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) combining with the grounded substrate. Notably based on the array, we shaped the empty part for RCS reduction, also for low side-lobe.","PeriodicalId":135770,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and North American Radio Science Meeting","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115855368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we develop an FSMC model for the vehicular channel based on real field measurements obtained from Beijing-Tianjin highway scenario. We discuss the varieties of the steady state probability and temporary skip probability in different locations.
