Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 9:
10. A radar based distance measuring device for determining a distance to a measured object, comprising:
a high frequency module including: a semiconductor component, which is embodied to produce or to process electrical, high frequency signals; a dielectric coupling element, which is contacted with the semiconductor component, in order to couple the high frequency signals as radar signals into: a dielectric waveguide, or in order to couple radar signals from the waveguide as electrical, high frequency signals into the semiconductor component, wherein the coupling element and the waveguide form a plug contact; and
adjoining the waveguide, an antenna, which is embodied to transmit radar signals toward the measured object and after reflection on the measured object to receive reflected radar signals back;
wherein the semiconductor component is embodied to determine the distance based at least on the reflected radar signals.
