Abstract:

It is known that particular materials result in signal attenuation when present in front of a radar sensor, leading to its performance degradation identified as blockage.
To further investigate this, a water layer simulation was done in CST Studio Suite. The simulation revealed that a water layer with a thickness of 1 mm can cause approximately 32 dB of signal attenuation.
This simulation significantly supported the development of our blockage algorithm.

Speaker Info:

Milan Kvicera received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in radioelectronics from the Czech Technical University in Prague in 2008 and 2012, respectively, and continued there as a postdoc and senior researcher dealing with radiowave propagation topics within ESA projects. In 2017, he joined Valeo as a radar system engineer and has a dual role as a technical project manager since 2020. His main focus is on radar pre-processing, integration into vehicles and EM simulations."
