Abstract
We have developed a 60 GHz millimetre wave spread spectrum radar system. The radar was designed as a sensor for an obstacle sensing radar system for a railway crossing application, in which the sensing range per radar installation covers up to 90 degrees. With a pair of these radar systems (radar 1 and radar 2), the whole area of the railway crossing can be monitored. This paper describes the structure of the radar and it´s working principles, and also our experimental test results.
