Abstract :
A distributed system, consisting of a network of short-range millimetre-wave (95 GHz) radar for the surveillance of an airport surface is described. In addition to the traditional detection capabilities of the radar, the system is fledged with imaging capabilities, due to its high resolution sensors. A demo set-up demonstrates the surface miniradar concept
