Non-broadside patch antenna for car-interior passenger detection

A novel traveling wave patch antenna at 24 GHz is presented which is not radiating into broadside direction. The radiation maximum of the antenna is found at 30° normal to the PCB surface. In this paper the need for this antenna and the specification are described and the derivation of the antenna layout is explained in details. Furthermore simulation and measurement results are given.
