Abstract

This article presents an important part of the DRIVE-SMILER project which is the evaluation of the feasibility of an anti-collision radar for road vehicles. In a first step, the main specifications of the radar are drawn from a bibliographic survey. Then the feasibility study is summarized. Several simulations, designed by the partners, are presented. Finally, a new possibility of radar front end integration is described, which uses the quasi optical technique with active antennae. This technology is compatible with MMIC (monolithic integration) process in millimeter-wave applications. The technique allows the suppression of all the microwave links needed in the classical integration concept, in order to reduce both the cost and the complexity of the radar front end. (A)
