Abstract

Examples disclosed herein relate to a multi-layer, multi-steering ('MLMS') antenna array for millimeter wavelength applications. The MLMS antenna array includes a superelement antenna array layer comprising a plurality of superelement subarrays. In some aspects, each superelement subarray of the plurality of superelement subarrays includes a plurality of phase compensated slots for radiating a transmission signal. The MLMS antenna array also includes a power division layer configured to serve as a feed to the superelement antenna array layer. The MLMS antenna array also includes a top layer disposed on the superelement antenna array layer. The top layer may include a superstrate or a metamaterial antenna array. Other examples disclosed herein include a radar system for use in an autonomous driving vehicle.
