Abstract :
A millimeter-wave radar using a spread spectrum technique for train applications has been developed in the 60 GHz band. This radar measures the distance, velocity, azimuth angle, and the magnitude of received signal of each target. The methods for detection are described in this paper. In the experiment, the radar detected the linear shape of trains
