An improved transceiver assembly for a vehicle for detecting potentially
hazardous objects is disclosed. The transceiver assembly preferably
comprises a patch array feed antenna having an array of a plurality of
patches for generating a beam and for detecting the beam as reflected
from the potential hazards. The antenna is formed in or on a housing
which also contains a parabolic dish that moves to sweeps the beam of
radiation towards the potential hazards outside of the vehicle. In a
preferred embodiment, approximately 77 GHz radiation is generated from
and detected by the antenna.
