Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. An FMCW radar front-end based on low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology is presented. It operates in the 76–81 GHz band with a 4-channel single-chip transceiver in SiGe technology. A laminated waveguide (LWG) is used as transmission line in LTCC and fed via a differential microstrip line to LWG transition. An LWG-fed patch array antenna acts as transmit and receive antenna. The radar-frontend was tested with distance measurements and is suitable for low-cost short-range applications.
