Radar antennas for SRR and MRR

High-performance antenna technology for higher automotive safety

The better the antenna of the radar, the better the range and field of view– and the better the range and field of view, the safer the traffic. Gapwaves offers market leading waveguide antennas for short range radar and mid range radar for all type of ADAS & AD applications with full coverage of the allocated automotive frequency band at 76-81 GHz and 140 GHz. Our automotive radar antennas are superior in performance and cost-efficient in high volume production.

Corner, Side and Front radar antennas

Gapwaves offers market leading waveguide antennas for all type of ADAS & AD applications with full coverage of the allocated automotive frequency band at 76-81 GHz and 140 GHz.

Thanks to the unique gap waveguide technology there is no need of soldering, screws or glue between antenna layers and assembly is made with simple riveting. This enables the use of low temperature plastic antenna layers with copper metallization instead of expensive silver coating.

This features the thinnest possible antenna due to minimum number of injection-molded layers in combination with sheet metal. By adding different layers to the antenna like an absorber, we enable an easier integration in the radarsensor. Adding a thermal spreader we support the cooling of the ICs. Gapwaves radar antennas supports board launchers as well as Launcher-in-package (LiP), with ready solutions for the major chipset manufacturers.

Simplifying the design and reducing manufacturing process steps, Gapwaves offers the highest performing, most cost-effective waveguide antenna available on the market.
