Automotive radar target characterization from 22 to 29 GHz and 76 to 81 GHz

The radar signatures of automotive targets were measured from 22 to 29 GHz and 76 to 81 GHz inside an anechoic chamber using a vector network analyzer. Radar cross section maps of a sedan, truck, van, pedestrian, motorcycle, and bicycle as a function of effective radar sensor bandwidth, center frequency, and polarization are presented.
