摘要：

A modified microstrip Franklin array antenna (MFAA) is proposed for short-range radar applications in vehicle blind spot information systems (BLIS). It is shown that the radiating performance [i.e., absolute gain value and half-power beamwidth (HPBW) angle] can be improved by increasing the number of radiators in the MFAA structure and assigning appropriate values to the antenna geometry parameters. The MFAA possesses a high absolute gain value (>10 dB), good directivity (HPBW <20 degrees) in the E-plane, and large-range coverage (HPBW >80 degrees) in the H-plane at an operating frequency of 24 GHz. Moreover, the 10-dB impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is around 250 MHz. The MFAA is, thus, an ideal candidate for automotive BLIS applications.
