Abstract:
A motor vehicle radar system, comprising:a structure including at least one of: at least one sensor-radiation transparent body for focusing a sensor beam, and at least one radome without intentional focusing in a beam path; and at least one arrangement including electrical printed circuit traces disposed in an area of at least one of the at least one sensor-radiation transparent body and the at least one radome, wherein: the at least one arrangement heats at least one of the least one sensor-radiation transparent body and the at least one radome, an electrical power is supplied to the electrical printed circuit traces, and a power control of the supplied electrical power is carried out as a function of operating states and ambient conditions, such that a surface temperature of at least one of the at least one sensor-radiation transparent body and the at least one radome does not exceed a preestablished temperature value.
