Abstract

We report a millimeter-wave stepped-frequency radar operating from 29.72 to 37.7 GHz for sensing applications. The radar is implemented using coherent super-heterodyne scheme and completely realized using microwave and millimeterwave integrated circuits. The developed radar has been demonstrated for different sensing applications with high accuracy and resolution. It can be used for various sensing applications including pavement and bridge assessment, liquid-level measurement, detection and location of buried mines and unexploded ordnance (UXO), detection of intrusion to structures including important civil facilities, detection of slow moving objects, surveillance and monitoring of hidden activities and objects.
