Abstract
A radar for a vehicle may include a frame having a waveguide antenna embedded therein and extending in a direction crossing an extension direction of the waveguide antenna, a plated region covering at least a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the frame and formed of a metallic material, and an un-plated region not coated with the metallic material on one surface of the frame, wherein the un-plated region is located to be adjacent to the waveguide antenna. Therefore, the radar for the vehicle can improve the stability of an antenna pattern and a phase.
Claims19
A radar for a vehicle, comprising:
- at least one waveguide antenna;
- a frame in which the waveguide antenna is embedded;
- a plated region including a metallic material and covering at least an outer peripheral portion of one surface of the frame;
- and
- at least one un-plated region where no metallic material is disposed on the one surface of the frame, wherein the un-plated region is located to be adjacent to the waveguide antenna,
- wherein the un-plated region is configured to reduce volume or size of the ground by the plated region.
A vehicle, comprising:
- a radar configured to transmit an electromagnetic wave signal and receive a reflected electromagnetic wave signal;
- and
- a processor configured to generate information associated with surrounding of the vehicle based on the reflected electromagnetic wave signal received by the radar,
- wherein the radar comprises:
- a waveguide antenna;
- a frame in which the waveguide antenna is embedded;
- a plated region including a metallic material and covering at least an outer peripheral portion of one surface of the frame;
- and
- at least one un-plated region where no metallic material is disposed on the one surface of the frame, wherein the un-plated region is located to be adjacent to the waveguide antenna,
- wherein the un-plated region is configured to reduce volume or size of the ground by the plated region.
