Abstract :
A low cost K-band safety warning radar receiver system has been developed to receive highway hazard-warning messages transmitted from a newly developed Safety Warning System. This paper describes a radar detection scheme, which includes down converter, FM detector, microprocessor, and analog control circuits, intended for the K-band transmitter.
