The Automotive Forum
Innovations and Trends for Automotive Radar Frontends and Imaging Radars
Monday 18th September 2023
09:00 – 18:20
Room: Alpha 5
Chair: Benjamin Nuss (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany)
Co-Chairs: Martin Kunert (Bosch, Germany), Frank Gruson (ZF, Germany), Kostas Doris (NXP, Netherlands)
Following applications like keyless entry and tire pressure monitoring systems, mobile communications and recently automotive radar made microwave technologies a strong pillar inside the automotive world.
The first 77 GHz automotive radar sensors entered the European market in 1999. In 2019, the European Microwave Association (EuMA) for the first time organized the Automotive Forum to provide an open platform for industrial experts to discuss technical aspects, concepts and radar architectures as well as market issues in the area of microwaves in the automotive industry.
The forum consists of a good mix of technical presentations and discussions as well as networking time. This year’s event will focus on the following topics:
- Innovations and new trends in antenna and chip design
- Perception requirements and enhancements of imaging radars
- Resolution challenges and novel concepts of imaging radars
- Radar testing & verification and future market & concept outlook
The forum is mainly devoted to technical experts from automotive industry throughout the whole supply chain. Keynote speakers will present their views on special technical solutions as well as regulatory or strategic issues. Early registration is recommended.
