Introduction to FDTD Electromagnetic Simulation for Automotive Radar

Electromagnetic simulation has been used by RF engineers for many years to aid the design of automotive radar sensors, but the increasing demands of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are changing the methods used.  This paper introduces FDTD’s advantages for automotive radar circuit and systems level designers, including simulation of very large problems, more efficient memory requirements, and the ability to reveal sources of coupling.

Benefits of Time-Domain Electromagnetic Simulation for Automotive Radar

Benefits of Time-Domain Electromagnetic Simulation for Automotive Radar

This whitepaper demonstrates how XFdtd's time-domain approach enables rapid development by allowing engineers to determine the performance of a fully detailed sensor model installed behind a piece of fascia without needing to build prototypes and run tests in an anechoic chamber. The analysis of a 25 GHz sensor frames the discussion.
