  • Abstract
    This paper presents a design concept to aid in the detection and tracking of objects in a cluttered environment at 26 GHz. Target tracking can generally be accomplished with the use of retro-reflectors which are able to return an incident signal back in the same direction with a radar cross section (RCS) that is independent of angle of arrival for a large range of incidence angles.
