A short course by Holger H. Meinel and Marlene Harter
Date: 29 MARCH 2019 from 9:00 to 16:00
Event location: DEI Bologna - Viale Risorgimento, 2 - Aula 4.2
Type: Course
Automotive radars are in production and on our roads since 1998 and recently the production numbers have exploded, due to the improvements in technologies which allowed the integration of Radar-on-chip at millimeter-waves. Therefore, Millimeter-wave Radar found its way to a mass-market solution in automotive Radar, as well as in various industrial and consumer applications. Particularly driven by the advance of the Internet of Things (IoT), autonomously driving cars and Industry 4.0, the amount of radar sensors and their networks is fast growing, promising radar chipsets to reach the mass volume market. At this time there are at least 180 million automotive radar-sensors operating on our streets worldwide.
This short course will cover the full range of the design considerations of radar applications at mm-wave frequencies starting from EM propagation aspects to automotive radar system design and architecture to the final target applications. The course is co-instructed by two outstanding speakers in the field of automotive RADAR who have developed their carriers in both the industry and the Academia.
The course is primarily constructed to be benefitted by the master students in Advanced Automotive Electronic Engineering, but master and PhD students from the Telecommunication, Electronics, and Automation fields are also welcome!
The course will last one day and will deal with the development, the HW/SW design of millimeter wave (77 GHz) RADAR for automotive applications.
