1 Introduction
This document describes the radar-technology-based SBZA/LCA generation 3.5 sensor and provides
guidelines for its integration in a vehicle.
Due to the fact that radar waves can penetrate plastics, the integration is possible behind the bumper
fascia and thus invisible from the exterior. However, the plastic and other materials which surround the
sensor may cause bending, refraction and reflection of the radar waves. Distances, clearances, selected
radii and other constructive elements in their arrangement can lead to constructive or destructive
interference of the radar waves. In case of an unfavorable configuration of all parameters towards each
other, the sensor properties can be influenced disadvantageously.
For these reasons, a generally valid positioning guideline which covers the entire configuration and
degrees of freedom of all OEMs and guarantees undisturbed sensor properties cannot be given.
This document includes guidelines which describe in general the ideal positioning and which correspond
to the accumulated experience.
The final integration position of the SBZA/LCA sensors, the design of the sensor
shielding/bracket and guideline violations in any case must be agreed upon with Hella
KGaA Hueck & Co. (see Fig. 1).

2.3 Shielding / bracket design
Purpose: The shielding / bracket protects the sensor against unwanted reflections
(road surface, tires, other objects behind fascia) and reduces multipath
effects, which have disadvantageous influence on sensor performance
Bracket material: - radar absorbing plastic, for example:
- Witcom PA6-2004/39 (PA6 with GF20 / conductive)
- Witcom PP-2008/003 (PP with GF30 / conductive)
- For mechanical reasons of fascia mounting, the same bracket material as
the fascia could be required. Additional absorbing material could be
necessary.
- Realization needs to be agreed on with Hella
Approximate wall - same like fascia if using ultrasonic welding technique (2.8mm–4mm).
thickness: If thickness is chosen smaller than 2.8mm and/or is not a constant value,
Hella must be notified before design release.
Design: - Side walls surround / cut the cone of rays
- Distance between shielding / bracket and cone of rays revolving 2 mm
(nom.)
- Design if cone of rays is cut (<180°; see Fig . 3 and 4):
- right angled / no chamfer
- Base length: > 20 mm
- Certain mounting positions may lead to special requirements concerning
some shielding / bracket surfaces, for example convex instead of planar.
In such cases, the practicality will be checked together with GM.
2.3.1 Body shell mounting
To minimize disturbances due to reflections by one’s own rear tires, the road surface below the
sensor, other objects behind the fascia, the clearance between shielding and fascia shall be as
small as possible. Clearance values larger than 10 mm have to be agreed on with Hella.
Clearance between shielding and fascia: revolving approx. 10 mm
For larger clearance values, shielding overhang
at upper sensor side (see Fig. 2): min. 10 - 20 mm
Length of shielding (see Fig. 2): > 140 mm

3 Further explanations
3.1 Device zero point and antennas midpoint
For the proper function of the sensors in the vehicle it is necessary that the software knows the exact
finally determined position of the sensors relative to the vehicle zero point. Now, two special points are
relevant for the calculation of the position of the SWA sensors: The device zero point E and the antennas
midpoint G.
The device zero point E results from the midpoints of the individual fastening clips (preliminary values):
The antennas midpoint G amounts from the device zero point E:
X: - 24.47 mm (according to coordinate system defined in above figure)
Y: - 13.95 mm
Z: - 6,9 mm
Since the distance from the device zero point to the antennas midpoint is a constant, the software
requires only the dimensions of the device zero point related to the vehicle’s zero point.

3.2 Master and Slave assignment
The SBZA/LCA system consists of two similar radar sensors. The main differences are in the component
placement on the printed circuit board and the position of the fastening clips. The sensor performing
communication with the vehicle data network is called “Master“ and the other sensor is called “Slave“
(see Tab. 1).
Master Slave
•
Performs communication with vehicle data
network
• Performs communication with Slave sensor
•
Performs only communication to Master
sensor
• Controls the HMI, if available
Tab. 1: Assignment of Master and Slave sensors.
Both sensors are mounted in the left and right rear corners of a vehicle. The vehicle connectors may
either both point outwards or both point towards the rear vehicle center. Hella’s experiences show that
for some car lines one orientation is more advantageous than the other orientation to faster reach a
sufficient function performance. This aspect will be evaluated during the sensor simulation (see Fig. 1).
Typically the Master sensor should be mounted on the left side of the vehicle. The Slave sensor should
be mounted on the right side of the vehicle. If the vehicle data network access for the Master is easier on
the right side of the vehicle, Master and Slave positions may also be switched.
The label of the sensor, mounted on the left side, is marked with “LH”, the sensor on the right side “RH”.
After the final sensor position is fixed for a car line, the position and assignment details have to be
implemented in the sensor software to achieve the correct system function.
