Abstract
A vehicle radar system (2) for detecting the surroundings, includes a circuit board (4), with a substrate layer (14) having an upper face (14a) and a lower face (14b), a strip conductor (22) applied onto the upper face (14a) so as to surround a shielding region (20), a shielding housing (6) that covers the shielding region (20) and that extends along and is connected to the strip conductor (22) in an electrically conductive manner, and at least one wave guide (28) arranged in the substrate layer. The wave guide (28) has a laterally delimiting wave guide wall (28c) as well as upper and lower wave guide surfaces (28a, 28b), wherein the upper wave guide surface (28a) is a section of the strip conductor (22).
Claims19
A vehicle radar system for detecting surroundings of the vehicle, which radar system comprises:
- a circuit board including a substrate layer that has an upper face and a lower face,
- a strip conductor that is disposed on said upper face and that surrounds a shielding region,
- a shielding housing that covers said shielding region and that extends along and is connected to said strip conductor in an electrically conductive manner, and
- at least one waveguide arranged in said substrate layer,
- wherein said waveguide has and is delimited by a lateral waveguide wall as well as an upper waveguide surface and a lower waveguide surface, wherein said upper waveguide surface is defined by a section of said strip conductor.
