Abstract
Frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radars offer many advantages such as low peak power, low probability of interception and low interference to other systems. However, their major drawback is the isolation required between transmitter and receiver that typically leads to the use of two separate antennas. Some schemes have been proposed to enable FMCW radars to operate with a single antenna, such as frequency modulated interrupted continuous wave (FMICW). A Stagger procedure was proposed to overcome the problems associated to the use of the FMICW technique in medium range high resolution radars (HRR). A millimeter-wave radar sensor, in Ka-band, has been developed in the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid to validate the Stagger technique. The sensor transmits a linear FMICW, with a maximum bandwidth of 2 GHz and a transmitted power of 29 dBm. The system is low-cost, modular, compact and lightweight, so it is attractive for portable applications.
