ABSTRACT:
An automotive drive assistance system (100, 200) includes a substrate (215, 221) having a radius of curvature (227, 229), wherein the radius of curvature corresponds to a field of view (226, 228). At least two radiation elements (219, 225) coupled to the substrate, where the at least two radiation elements are coupled to directionally transmit and receive electromagnetic radiation (140, 240) over the field of view. A lens (217, 223) is coupled to focus the electromagnetic radiation transmitted and received from the at least two radiation elements.
