Abstract :
This paper deals with a low-cost 24GHz Doppler radar sensor for traffic surveillance. The basic building blocks of the transmit/receive chain, namely the antennas, the balanced power amplifier (PA), the dielectric resonator oscillator (DRO), the low noise amplifier (LNA) and the down conversion diode mixer are presented underlining the key technologies and manufacturing approaches by means the required performances can be attained while keeping industrial costs extremely low.
