Technology Analysis of Autoliv's 77GHz Multi Mode Radar

Dublin, Feb. 22, 2017 -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Autoliv 77GHz Multi Mode Radar: Technology Analysis" report to their offering.

Autoliv, one of the leading automotive radar system supplier, has developed a new radar configuration. No more need to install two radar systems, one for Long Range and another for Middle Range, the 77GHz Multi Mode Radar combines both. By expanding the detection area of the radar, Autoliv provides a significant cost reduction in safety equipment.

The system integrates two electronic boards including Texas instrument Microcontroller and Automotive Vision Processor. The RF board is manufactured with an asymmetric structure using Hybrid PTFE/FR4 substrate and is equipped with planar antennas.

Infineon 77GHZ SiGe Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMIC) are used as High-Frequency transmitter and receiver. The RF dies are packaged in the last version of the eWLB, the Fan-Out Wafer Level Package developed and manufactured by Infineon. The Transmitter and Receiver are associated to a Dual Power Amplifier and to a Wave Form Generator from Infineon.

Based on a complete teardown analysis of the Autoliv Multi Mode Radar, the report provides the bill-of-material (BOM) and the manufacturing cost of the Radar Sensor.
