Abstract

Antenna assemblies for vehicles, such as RADAR sensor antenna assemblies. In some embodiments, the assembly may comprise an antenna block defining a first waveguide on a first side of the antenna block and a second waveguide on a second side of the antenna block. The assembly may comprise a vertical waveguide extending from the first side of the antenna block to the second side of the antenna block. The vertical waveguide may be functionally coupled with the first waveguide and the second waveguide. One or both of the first and second waveguides may comprise a transitional region configured to facilitate redirection of electromagnetic waves to the vertical waveguide.
