The paper gives a brief overview of automotive radar. The status of the frequency regulation for short and long range radar is summarized because of its importance for car manufacturers and their sensor suppliers. Front end concepts and antenna techniques of 24 GHz and 77 GHz sensors are briefly described. Their impact on the sensor’s field of view and on the angular measurement capability is d...

Detection of slow moving targets using a moving pulsed Doppler radar system has been a problem of great interest for quite some time [1]. One distinguishes between monostatic (MS) configurations, where the radar transmitter and receiver are colocated and bistatic (BS) configurations, where they are physically separated and have separated motions. In either case, a train of coherent pulses is tr...

The presentation describes a Modelling and Simulation tool developed by Electronic Warfare and Radar Division of Defence Science and Technology Organisation, Australia. This tool can be used for the prediction of jamming effects on the airborne radar performance by Electronic Attack systems currently available on the market or under development. It also highlights the impact of a Maritime Patro...

UWB is a very attractive technology for many applications. It provides many advantages such as fine resolution and high power efficiency. Our interest in the current study is the use of UWB radar technique in microwave medical imaging systems, especially for early breast cancer detection. The Federal Communications Commission FCC allowed frequency bandwidth of 3.1 to 10.6 GHz for this purpose. ...

The application of Ku-band VSAT Systems to single layer hexagonal micro strip patch antenna is thoroughly simulated in this paper. The radiating elements in this antenna are composed of two triangular and one rectangular slots from the conventional micro strip patch antenna. These slots are engraved in the rectangular and triangular patch, joined together in two structures, and by single probe ...

There has been a flourishing prospect of UWB technology in recent years in both communication and other purposes like microwave imaging and radar applications. Recent studies of UWB antenna structures are specially concentrated on microstrip [1], slot and planar monopole antennas [2]. In this work, a small monopole antenna with diamond shape of the patch (30 x 26 mm2) printed microstrip fed mon...

A UWB impulse array antenna (IAA) utilizing a novel electrical scanning system with tapped delay lines is proposed and its usefulness is experimentally verified. The experimental antenna is composed of impulse generators installed in each antenna element and tapped delay lines used for creating transmitting trigger signals, which is a simple circuit configuration. It is shown that the output ph...

With advancement in communication technology over the past decade, there is an increasing demand for miniaturization, cost effective, multiband and wideband antennas. Fractal antenna designs can support in meeting these requirements. Though these antennas provide several advantages but at the same time miniaturization and performance of the fractal antennas can be further enhanced using reconfi...

Applications of millimeter-wave radar, imaging, and communication technology requires cost-effective implementation of intelligent scanning antenna systems. Injection-locking and phase-locked-loop (PLL) techniques can be used to achieve synchronous operation of a number of antenna array elements, and allow for the manipulation of the phase distribution without additional phase-shifting circuitr...
