Millimeter-wave radar image analysis for the traffic sensing

Terahertz Imaging, Millimeter-wave Radar

The millimeter wave (MMW) band of frequencies extends from 30 GHz to 300 GHz, with some fuzziness on both ends of this spectrum. The terahertz (THz) band extends from about 200 GHz to about 30 THz, despite the fact that the lower frequencies in this range are not strictly 10 Hz or higher. These bands are also variously called submillimeter, far-infrared, and near-millimeter. In recent years, th...

Millimeter-Wave Circuit Design for Radar Transceivers

Millimeter-Wave Radar Technology for Automotive Application

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has developed a millimeter-wave radar for automotive application. Monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), developed specifically for this application by Mitsubishi Electric, are used for the radio-frequency (RF) module to obtain outstanding radar performance. This millimeter-wave radar incorporates a signal-processing unit in the radar head, resulting i...

The 4 GHz Bandwidth Millimeter - Wave Radar

The landmark construction of the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA)–Lincoln C-band Observables Radar (ALCOR) at Kwajalein Atoll in 1970 sparked significant interest in the ballistic missile defense (BMD) and satellite-identification communities [1]. ALCOR's 50 cm range resolution using 512 MHz bandwidth data confirmed the viability of valuable new BMD discrimination techniques and provide...

An ultrafast wide-band millimeter-wave (MMW) polarimetric radar for remote sensing applications

With the advent of high-frequency radio frequency (RF) circuits and components technology, millimeter-wave (MMW) radars are being proposed for a large number of military and civilian applications. Accurate and high-resolution characterization of the polarimetric radar backscatter responses of both clutter and man-made targets at MMW frequencies is essential for the development of radar systems ...
