1 Importance of mmWave and LoP in Automotive Radars

The utilization of mmWave frequencies, specifically around 77GHz, has become pivotal in enhancing the capabilities of automotive radar systems. This frequency range offers the best resolution and accuracy that are crucial for applications like collision avoidance, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot detection, and cross-traffic alerts. The ability to operate effectively in adverse weather conditions such as rain or fog further solidifies the importance of mmWave in modern automotive radar technology.
