Abstract
High resolution requirements for airport surface traffic monitoring with lightweight, small, all-weather sensors call for the use of a network of millimetre-wave radars to perform the surveillance function in the surface movement control and guidance system. In this paper a W-band radar employed as the basic sensor is described. Some results of recent and present field trials are reported
