Abstract

In this paper, we produced two kinds of k band radar modules with low cost. Firstly, a 24-GHz frequency modulation continuous-wave radar sensor is presented. A resonance cavity Gunn voltage-controlled oscillator and the driver amplifier MMIC act as transmitter. In contrast, we give another framework´s k band radar module, include wave guide VCO.
