Abstract :
In future all automotive long and short range radar systems in Europe have to operate in the frequency range 76-81 GHz due to the European radar frequency regulation. For the development of future low-cost, high-performance and highly reliable radar systems the joint project KOKON was initiated. This contribution introduces the objectives of KOKON and presents current results achieved including sensor specification with respect to automotive applications, chip technology development, and realization of first sensor prototypes.
