Abstract

Radar technology has become increasingly important in automotive applications, particularly for car-speed detection and monitoring systems. The antenna plays a crucial role in determining the performance of these systems. This paper presents the design, simulation, and experimental investigation of a high-performance X-band patch array antenna for automotive radar applications. The antenna was fabricated and tested, and the experimental results validate the simulation results. The prototype antenna operates at a center frequency of 10 GHz and achieves a gain of 15.48 dB, directivity of 17.96 dBi, and |S11|of -18.85 dB. Its impedance bandwidth extends from 9.69 to 10.20 GHz, with a beam width of 10 degree and corresponding radiation efficiency is 86.17% at 10 GHz. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate excellent agreement, validating the antenna's performance for car-speed detection and monitoring radar systems. The results show that the designed patch array antenna is suitable for automotive radar applications, offering impressive accuracy and reliability.

Abstract

Tropospheric scintillation which causes rapid fluctuation of signal due to the turbulence in the atmosphere is of significance in satellite link budget design. Existing models that predict the intensity of scintillation such as Karasawa, International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication (ITU-R) Sector, Otung, Van de Kamp and Ortgies are not appropriate for predicting scintillation intensity (SI) in Nigeria due to localization of the models to particular regions. The monthly average air temperature and relative humidity for Ikeja and Abuja, Nigeria, retrieved from the Nigerian Meteorological Centre data bank were used for the investigation. An elevation angle of 5° was used as look angle, antenna diameter of 0.3 m, 40 GHz and 45 GHz frequencies were considered in this study. The existing scintillation model values were then compared with the measured values for the two locations to determine the best performance model. The SI results at 40 GHz and 45 GHz were obtained for each of the existing models. It could be deduced from the results obtained that orgies model values were the most closet to the measured values. Therefore, Orgies-N model was the most appropriate for SI prediction in Ikeja and Abuja.
