Abstract
An antenna for a radar sensor includes an emitter element, a receiver element, and an anti-reflection element. The emitter element is configured to direct the emitted signal along a boresight that intersects a fascia. The receiver element is configured to detect a reflected signal reflected by an object located beyond the fascia. The anti-reflection element is configured to reduce reflection by the antenna of an early-reflection portion reflected by the fascia.
Claims13
An antenna for a radar sensor configured to emit an emitted signal, wherein a fascia reflects an early-reflection portion of the emitted signal toward the antenna, said antenna comprising:
- an emitter element configured to direct the emitted signal along a boresight that intersects the fascia;
- a receiver element configured to detect a reflected signal reflected by an object located beyond the fascia;
- and
- an anti-reflection element configured to reduce reflection by the antenna of the early-reflection portion.
