Design and analysis of a 5.88GHz microstrip phased array antenna for intelligent transport systems

Detection of blind spot area of an intelligent mobile vehicle is presented in this paper. In order to scan the concerning area, a phased array radar is designed. The approach is of two fold. Firstly, microstrip phased array antenna with progressive phased shifter is designed and subsequently, it is optimised for improvement of performance through parametric studies and array distribution using Tchebyscheff polynomial.
