Vehicle radar sensor assembly
First Claim
1. A radar electronics module comprising:
- a support structure having a first surface having a plurality of recesses provided therein and having a second opposing surface;
a transmitter circuit board having a transmitter circuit board connection point, said transmitter circuit board disposed on the first surface of said support structure over at least one of said plurality of recesses such that at least one circuit on said transmitter circuit board is disposed in the at least one recess of said support structure; and
;
a receiver circuit board having a receiver circuit board connection point, said receiver circuit board disposed on the first surface of said support structure, over at least one of said plurality of recesses such that at least one circuit on said receiver circuit board is disposed in the at least one recess of said support structure;
a digital/power supply circuit printed wiring board (PWB) disposed on the second surface of said support structure, said digital/power supply PWB having a first connection point; and
a connector coupled to said support structure, said connector having a first set of connection points coupled to the first connection point of said a digital/power supply PWB, having a second set of connection points coupled to the first connection point of said transmitter circuit board and having a third set of connection points coupled to the first connection point of said receiver circuit board, said connector adapted to provide electrical connections for at least one of power signals, analog signals or digital signals between at least two of said digital/power supply PWB, said transmitter circuit board and said receiver circuit board.

Abstract
A radar electronics module includes a support structure having a first surface having a plurality of recesses with a transmitter circuit board and a receiver circuit board disposed thereon. The transmitter and receiver circuit boards are disposed over the first surface of the supports structure such that transmitter and receive circuits are disposed in cavities on the support structure. The radar electronics module further includes a digital/power supply circuit printed wiring board (PWB) disposed on a second surface of the support structure and a connector disposed on the support structure. The connector is disposed in such a way that it provides electrical connections for at least one of power signals, analog signals or digital signals between at least two of the digital/power supply PWB, the transmitter circuit board and the receiver circuit board.
