Executive Summary
• This comparative review has been conducted to provide insights into the structures, technical choices, and designs of 15
automotive Radar sensor products from the leading suppliers. The suppliers include Veoneer (Formerly Autoliv), Bosch
Sensortec, Continental, Aptiv (Formerly Delphi Technologies), Denso, ZF/Autocruise, and Valeo.
• We analyze and compare 6 devices that use the 24 GHz frequency band, featuring chipset supplied by STMicroelectronics,
Infineon, Analog Devices or UMS and targeting sort ranges application like blind spot detection. We have also looked at 9
devices working in the 77 GHz frequency band more dedicated to multimode radar or long range radar sensing. On this
other segments several companies like Infineon, NXP even TowerJazz shares the market. We look at their package
dimensions and internal structures, Chipset technologies, antenna design and dimensions, and RF PCB cross-sections, to
provide a comprehensive review of Radar Sensors.
• Radar Sensors’ packaging and chipset differ widely according to application. In more than 390 pages, this report includes
multiple comparisons based on physical analyses of 15 Radar sensors. It offers device manufacturers and chipset providers
the unique possibility of understanding Radar sensor technology evolution.
• At the end, the report will open on the next generation of radar using large available bandwidth of 4 GHz on the 79 GHz
frequency band featuring RFCMOS radar chipset from Ainstein. We look at its characteristics and compare the new
architecture to former radar on 24 GHz and 77 GHz.

In the next few years, autonomous
driving will become reality. To achieve
this innovation, the number of vision
technologies have increased to provide
functionality and safety to drivers and
passengers. Among the vision techno-
logies, radar systems are the best-
established and most secure technology,
introduced in 2000 with Short Range
Radar (SRR) systems, dedicated to blind
spot or line crossing detection. Today
vehicles from several suppliers offer ‘level
3’ automation, where drivers are on
standby but can be hands-off for periods
of time, integrating around five radar
systems. These include SRR and Long-
Range Radar (LRR), providing emergency
breaking or Adaptive Cruise Control. To
track how the technology is evolving and
see what’s coming in the future, now is
the perfect time to investigate every
player and compare radar original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs),
module suppliers and current
technologies.
This comparative technology study
provides insights on technology data for
radio-frequency (RF) chipsets and
antenna boards in radar systems. The
report includes the study of fifteen radar
systems from several OEMs, including
Continental, Veoneer, ZF, Valeo, Bosch,
Aptiv, Denso and Ainstein.
With teardowns of a large variety of radar,
we have extracted and analyzed the main
RF chipsets and also, we have sectioned
the RF boards. All in order to show the
various OEM technical and economic
choices and give an overview of the
market. Market shares differ depending
on the frequency and the application. At
24 GHz, STMicroelectronics and Infineon
share the leadership. At 77 GHz, Infineon
leads the way and NXP follows.
The report includes a description of each
component and statistical analyses for
most radar systems focusing on the RF
board. Moreover, we compare the costs
of the main blocks to explain OEM
choices and supplier preferences. The
main board analyses along with the full
Bills-of-Materials (BOMs) and system
costings are not covered in this report.
