Abstract
This paper presents the design of a complete single card Frequency Modulated Continuos Wave (FMCW) radar transceiver system with a novel four-element active antenna array. Azimuth tracking ability is achieved at the intermediate frequency (IF) via a monopulse processor. The single card FMCW system provides a highly cost effective solution for radar ranging and tracking purposes such as collision avoidance and automated roadways without bulky expensive hardware.
