RADAR APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17591488 titled 'RADAR APPARATUS
The radar apparatus described in the patent application includes a circuit board with an antenna module for transmitting an electromagnetic wave, a housing with a facing wall, and a heat transfer module.
- The facing wall of the housing has a transmission portion for the electromagnetic wave and an absorption portion with a different thickness that absorbs incident waves.
- The heat transfer module consists of a first transfer member in contact with the absorption portion and a second transfer member that transfers heat to the first member.
- Key Features and Innovation:**
- Radar apparatus with a unique housing design for efficient heat transfer and wave absorption.
- Integration of antenna module, facing wall, and heat transfer module for improved performance.
- Different thicknesses in the absorption portion for effective wave absorption.
- Potential Applications:**
- Radar systems for military and defense applications.
- Weather monitoring and forecasting equipment.
- Traffic control and surveillance systems.
- Problems Solved:**
- Efficient heat dissipation in radar systems.
- Enhanced wave absorption for improved signal processing.
- Compact design for space-constrained installations.
- Benefits:**
- Improved performance and reliability of radar systems.
- Extended lifespan of components due to effective heat transfer.
- Enhanced signal quality and accuracy in data processing.
- Commercial Applications:**
- Military and defense industries for surveillance and reconnaissance.
- Meteorological agencies for weather monitoring and forecasting.
- Traffic management authorities for efficient traffic control systems.
- Questions about Radar Apparatus:**
1. How does the unique housing design contribute to the overall performance of the radar apparatus? 2. What are the potential implications of the different thicknesses in the absorption portion of the facing wall?
Original Abstract Submitted
A radar apparatus includes a circuit board including a board surface provided with an antenna module for transmitting an electromagnetic wave, a housing accommodating the circuit board and including a facing wall facing the board surface, and a heat transfer module transferring heat generated inside the housing to the housing. The facing wall includes a transmission portion transmitting therethrough the electromagnetic wave transmitted from the antenna module and an absorption portion having a thickness different from the thickness of the transmission portion and absorbing the electromagnetic wave which is incident. The heat transfer module includes a first transfer member placed to be in contact with the absorption portion in the housing and a second transfer member transferring the heat to the first transfer member.
