Waveguide antenna centre stage at EuMW 2024

This innovative waveguide antenna is designed with a very high number of channels within a small and compact form factor.

With 48 transmitters and 48 receivers, the antenna offers 96 channels, providing superior performance compared to existing radar antennas on a small area.

Its compact size—measuring just 120 x 105 x 3.25 mm—combined with full-band coverage of 76-81 GHz, makes it a unique solution for high-resolution radar applications.

It has been designed for Sensrad’s 4D imaging radar, the Hugin D1.

Said Nils Dagås, Gapwaves R&D Director: “This state-of-the-art waveguide antenna showcases the capabilities of our proprietary technology. The demand for better resolution to enable higher levels of autonomy in vehicles pushes for larger apertures. While there is a continued need for cost-effective small arrays, we can see a growing need for more complex multi-channel antennas. This antenna combines both a very high resolution and a very compact form factor, for an improved antenna integration in the sensor”.
