Abstract :
This paper gives the last UMS developments in the field of automotive radar at 77GHz. A complete front-end based on four MMICs is described, it is dedicated to FMCW radar for Collision Warning/Avoidance systems. A detailed characterization results are given for a single channel front-end. These designs already demonstrate high level of performance on industrial MMIC technologies.
