Abstract
The present invention relates to a radar sensor (70) with an antenna arrangement (30), in particular an antenna arrangement (30) with exactly one transmitting antenna, and a radar lens (20) for adapting a beam profile of the antenna arrangement (30); wherein the radar lens (20) has at least one curved surface (24) and is arranged relative to the antenna arrangement (30) such that the radar lens (20) refracts a radar beam originating from the antenna arrangement (30) in a first plane (Ax, Az) along a principal beam axis (Az) of the antenna arrangement (30) towards the principal beam axis (Az) and in a second plane (Ay, Az) along the principal beam axis (Az) refracts the radar beam to a lesser extent than in the first plane (Ax, Az) or not at all. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing a radar lens (20) for a radar sensor (70) with an antenna arrangement (30).
