Abstract
A detection system for a vehicle, including at least one detection device operable for detecting objects in a detection area. The detection device also includes a first emission antenna, a first reception antenna, and a plurality of extension portions. One of the plurality of extension portions is integrally formed as part of the first emission antenna, and another of the plurality of extension portions is integrally formed as part of the first reception antenna. The first emission antenna generates an emission wave at a predetermined angle which contacts objects in the first detection area and deflects of the objects in the first detection area, and returns to the first reception antenna as a return wave. In an embodiment, the first emission antenna includes at least one Vivaldi wing, and the first reception antenna includes at least one Vivaldi wing.
