RF /マイクロ波設計: 新しいミリ波MIMOレーダーシステムの設計

RF Design Japan

レーダーは、反射した電波を使用して、物体の距離、角度、または速度を決定します。かつては航空宇宙および防衛産業の独占的な領域であったこれらの検出システムは、現在、消費者産業、特に自動車レーダーで人気を集めています[1]。部分的には、シリコンゲルマニウム（SiGe）やCMOS技術などの大量の半導体プロセスにより、大量の商用アプリケーション向けの費用効果の高いシステムが可能になっているため、商用採用が可能です。このブログでは、商用レーダーアプリケーション向けの60GHz周波数変調連続波（FMCW）...

RF Engineering: Design of a Novel mmWave MIMO Radar System

TeamAWR

Radar uses reflected radio waves to determine the range, angle, or velocity of objects. These detection systems that were once the exclusive domain of the aerospace and defense industry are now gaining popularity in the consumer industry, most notably automotive radar. Commercial adoption is possible, in part, because of high-volume semiconductor processes such as silicon germanium (SiGe) and complementary metal-oxide…
