Abstract :
A bi-static E-band (80GHz) electronically scanned imaging radar system has been fabricated and tested. This radar system combines a stare-mode array within a frequency-scanned antenna to extract azimuth and elevation information, while utilizing a frequency modulated CW (FMCW) transceiver to extract range. This unique architecture provides state of the art instantaneous field of view and voxel refresh rates for electronically scanned systems while requiring less RF components than conventional phased array systems, enabling a cost-effective means for volume production of electronically scanned high resolution imaging radar.
