Abstract
According to the invention, a multi-beam radar sensor for microwaves is proposed, in which between a lens and the transmitter/receiver elements ( ), focusing bodies ( ) are disposed in such a way that they prefocus the radiation of an applicable transmitter/receiver element ( ) with respect to the dielectric lens ( ). The focusing bodies ( ) are retained by a dielectric plate ( ), into which a mount ( ) is inserted. The mount ( ) is embodied with regard to its material and geometric dimensions such that the least possible coupling between the individual focusing bodies ( ) occurs. To attain this object, the mount ( ) is embodied by recesses ( ) in the regions between the focusing bodies ( ). For simpler assembly and adjustment, bores ( ) and adjustment openings ( ) are provided.
