Abstract :
A potentially low-cost realization of a 61-GHz Doppler radar system for speed measurement over the ground is presented. It is based on an inverted strip dielectric waveguide used for both the oscillator/mixer and an antenna. A simple Gunn element serves as transmitter as well as the self-oscillating mixer. A number of tests confirmed its good performance. The test results are presented.<>
