3D waveguide antennas are advanced, metallised plastic components designed for automotive radar applications of up to 81 GHz, with our latest research activity even successfully proved feasibility in the sub-THz range of up to 950GHz. Essentially, these antennas offer high-efficiency, low-loss, and accurate target detection, as well as proven high gain performance.
Manufactured through advanced moulding and metallisation techniques, these antennas feature intricate internal pathways that precisely control how signals travel. This results in stable, predictable performance suited to the demanding requirements of modern radar systems, all while guaranteeing seamless integration into existing architectures.
3D waveguide antennas also support emerging technologies, such as Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) and 5G connectivity, by providing higher data resolution and higher signal to noise ratio far superior to traditional Printed Circuit Boards (PCB). The higher frequencies and data loads demand greater precision and consistency in signal transmission, which these designs enable through optimised electromagnetic and reduced interference.
Continued progress on our extensive portfolio has given operators a range of compact, scalable solutions that meet stringent automotive standards. Our 3D waveguide antennas also deliver object detection and maintain the highest possible performance, even in the most challenging visibility and environments or the most rigorous reliability testing. As these capabilities continue to advance, they are setting the direction for the next phase of innovation in ADAS.
