Antenna structures and assemblies for use in RADAR sensor assemblies and the like. In some embodiments, the assembly may comprise a plurality of elongated radiating slots formed in a first array, which may extend parallel, or at least substantially parallel, to each another within the first array. The assembly may further comprise a plurality of elongated protrusions formed in a second array, which may extend parallel, or at least substantially parallel, to each another within the second array. In some embodiments, each radiating slot within the first array may similarly extend parallel, or at least substantially parallel, to each elongated protrusion within the second array.

Slot array antennae with protrusions

Waveguide and/or antenna structures for use in RADAR sensor assemblies and the like. In some embodiments, an antenna module for a vehicle sensor may comprise a receive (RX) array of elongated RX antenna slots and a transmit (TX) array of TX antenna slots. The TX array may comprise both one or more vertically-shifted TX antenna slots and one or more high-gain and/or squinted TX antenna arrays, each comprising a plurality of high-gain antenna slots.

Antenna slot array configurations and related vehicle sensor signal patterns

Waveguide and/or antenna structures for use in RADAR sensor assemblies and the like. In some embodiments, the assembly may comprise a waveguide block comprising a first surface on a first side of the waveguide block and a second surface on a second side of the waveguide block opposite the first side. One or more waveguides may be formed in the waveguide block. One or more antenna slots may be operably coupled with one or more of the waveguides. One or more auxiliary grooves may be positioned adjacent to at least one of the antenna slots and may mimic, or at least substantially mimic, at least one of the one or more antenna slots, such as in length and/or width.
