Abstract
A multi-beam automobile radar system includes at least one antenna that forms a total of at least two antenna lobes. At least one of these antenna lobes serves to transmit and receive radar signals. At least one other antenna lobe serves only to receive radar signals. An advantage of the automobile radar system is that with one antenna lobe which serves only for receiving radar signals, it is possible to eliminate duplexers, for example, in the form of double rat race arrangements.
