Abstract :
Millimeterwave radar sensors are netted to cover a sufficient region of an airport and deliver as well information on position as classification of debris. To be able to miniaturize the antenna assembly, which is critical for the vicinity of a runway, the 220-GHz radar band is used. Use of this band also allows to achieve a wide signal bandwidth and consequently a high range resolution.
