Abstract
Preventing accidents at the level crossings is a global size problem. Despite all European railways have planned to replace them with underpasses or overpasses, it is expected that, for the next 20 years, there will still be a strong need of additional automatic protection achievable, for example, with a radar detection system. In this paper, there are presented and compared different antenna solutions which have been designed and manufactured for a 77GHz level crossing monitoring FMCW radar, from its first release to the final commercial product. Antenna performances, reliability, and reproducibility characteristics are analyzed in light of manufacturing cost.
