Perspectives of Convertors and Communication Aspects in Automated Vehicles, Part 1: Convertors and Condition Monitoring

A critical survey has been conducted on high energy-efficient bidirectional converters, various topologies that effectively meet the automated vehicle requirements, and 24 GHz/77 GHz low-profile antennas (for automotive radar applications). The present identified into two parts current topic of study as perspectives challenges. Part 1 this covers power electronic convertor condition monitoring aspects convertors to enhance lifespan improve performance. Condition-monitoring issues concerning abnormalities electrical components, switching frequencies, electromagnetic interference, leakage currents, unwanted joint ruptures have also emphasized. It is observed composite converters are proficient for hybrid electric vehicles due fast dynamic response reduced component count. Importantly, failures in most common need attention effective operation converters. Hence, implementation schemes summarized. 2 focuses 77 (microstrip-based) applications, types antenna structures, feed mechanisms, dielectric material design techniques, performance parameters. discussion methodologies, beam scanning concepts, side-lobe levels autonomous communication activities.
