چکیده
The presentation discusses the requirements on the characteristics of antenna and RFsubsystem of a FMCW Imaging Radar with respect to the dynamic range and presents the design of an advanced demonstrator. The discussion is based on experience with the HiVision-Radar system /1/ which observes the ground from an elevated position (e.g. airborne platform, see also /2/) and employs a frequency scanned antenna producing a narrow beam in azimuth with fan beam pattern in elevation.

متن کاملDual Channel S-Band Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave Through-Wall Radar Imaging
This article deals with the development of a dual channel S-Band frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) system for a through-the-wall imaging (TWRI) system. Most existing TWRI systems using FMCW were developed for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) which has many drawbacks such as the need for several antenna elements and movement of the system. Our implemented TWRI system comprises a transmitt...
