Zusammenfassung:A radar sensing system for a vehicle includes a radar sensor disposed at the vehicle so as to have a field of sensing exterior of the vehicle. The radar sensor includes a plurality of transmitters that transmit radio signals, a plurality of receivers that receive radio signals, and a plurality of antennas that communicate the radio signals to the receivers and from the transmitters. The received radio signals are transmitted radio signals that are reflected from an object. A processor is operable to process outputs of the receivers to detect the object. At least some of the antennas of the radar sensor include non-rectangular slot antennas each having a slot that includes a longitudinal portion and a transverse portion that extends transverse in at least one direction from the longitudinal portion. The non-rectangular slot provides an enhanced radiation pattern of the transmitted radio signals.
