Abstract

A compound circuit board for a radar device includes a first substrate including a plurality of trace layers having a first trace layer formed with a digital signal processing unit and an electronic control unit in a first area, a second substrate including a plurality of trace layers having a second trace layer formed with an antenna module in a second area, and a prepreg layer between the first and second substrates for connecting the first and second substrates, wherein the first area and the second area in a first projecting result generated by projecting the first trace layer on the second trace layer are substantially overlapped.
