Abstract
A housing for a radar sensor module has a back surface and a plurality of side surfaces connected to the back surface. A vent structure is connected to the back surface and at least one of the side surfaces. The vent structure includes an enclosure enclosing a chamber. A first opening in the vent structure penetrates the at least one of the side surfaces of the housing, such that the chamber is exposed to an exterior of the housing. A second opening in the vent structure penetrates the enclosure such that the chamber is exposed to an interior of the housing.
