Automotive radar sensors for driver assistance systems are usually installed behind the bumper of the car. Multiple reflections between radar and bumper can occur and may lead to a wrong estimation of the direction of arrival of the signal reflected by the target. This paper presents an effective solution to improve t…

A new dual-polarized 3-D frequency-selective surface (FSS) with quasi-elliptic bandpass response is proposed by virtue of the square coaxial waveguide (SCW). By utilizing the SCW as one propagation path in the unit cell, two resonators can be generated intrinsically without introducing any extra structures. In additio…
