Abstract

Radar systems are provided for transmitting radar signals using one or more flexible dielectric waveguides (DWGs), each having a core member surrounded by a cladding, in which the core and cladding have different dielectric constants. A single radar circuit may be used to generate radar signals that are distributed, via the DWGs, to multiple launch structures placed at various locations on a vehicle. In an example, a launch structure, coupled to a port of the radar circuit, has an outer surface that is configured to couple to an inner surface of a body part of an external structure to emit a radar signal through the outer surface in a path that extends through the body part, in which the body part is non-transparent to light and does not have an opening in the path of the radar signal.
