A vehicle radar system for monitoring a blind spot of a vehicle includes a radar transmitter mounted on the vehicle and a transmitting antenna coupled to the radar transmitter. The transmitting antenna transmits radiation in a pattern into a region adjacent to the vehicle, the pattern comprising a first radiation lobe and a second radiation lobe. A null region of the pattern between the first lobe and the second lobe is directed into the region approximately perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle, the longitudinal axis running between a rear end of the vehicle and a front end of the vehicle and running along a line of travel of the vehicle.

Vehicle radar system with blind spot detection

The present invention relates to a monitoring device () with a transmitter unit () and a receiver unit () for monitoring an area. Slotted cables serve as antennas. According to the invention, a first slotted cable is arranged as a transmitting an antenna () for transmitting a pulsed high-frequency signal and a second slotted cable is arranged as a receiving antenna () for receiving the reflected signal. The slotted cables are arranged in association with each other and essentially parallel to each other, and the transmitter unit () is connected to the first slotted cable at one end of the antenna arrangement and the receiver unit () is connected to the second slotted cable at the other end of the antenna arrangement.
