  • Antenna system, particularly for radar applications in motor vehicles
    Patent number: 7696938
    Abstract: In an antenna system, an antenna feeding substrate is connected by its conductor structures via field coupling to planar antenna radiating elements. A mounting part, able to be fixed in position against the antenna feeding substrate, is provided for the antenna radiating elements. The mounting part itself or a housing part able to be joined to it with form locking is used for the HF shielding of the antenna feeding substrate. The mounting part and/or housing part are structured in such a way that, viewed from the planar antenna radiating elements in the radiation direction, a wave guidance is achieved.

  • Transition from a waveguide to a strip transmission line
    Patent number: 6265950
    Abstract: In order for it to be possible to manufacture a transition with a cost-effective stamping or diecasting or cold-molding process or with a plastic injection-molding process with subsequent metal plating, at least one ridge situated in the waveguide, which reduces the waveguide cross section in the direction of the stripline, has a cross section which tapers conically in the direction of the stripline.
