Research leads to single-package 79-GHz automotive radar

摘要

Imec (Leuven, Belgium) and Infineon (Munich, Germany) are collaborating to develop a 79-GHz CMOS sensor chip for automotive radar applications. The two-chip stacked package device takes less than 500 mW/antenna path. The design of a first demonstrator in 28-nm CMOS technology is well underway, with prototype chips due in Q3 2016 and a complete radar system demonstrator scheduled for the beginning of 2017.
