Abstract
Having information about the materials surrounding the radar sensors is essential in the automotive sector, in order to guarantee good functionality of the sensor. Since automotive manufacturers also start integrating radar sensors behind bumpers, it is essential to know the characteristics of the materials used in bumpers and how a repair of a bumper would alter those characteristics. This paper shows, how the damping characteristics of different samples were measured at 77GHz using a scalar measurement setup and compares the attenuation for different types of paints and modifications. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
