Collision Avoidance W-Band FMCW Radars in an Altimeter Application
Abstract
The frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar principle has been used in aircraft radio altimeters to measure height above the surface of the Earth. This paper describes the performance of a typical commercial-off-the- shelf 77 GHz automobile collision avoidance radar that is been adapted for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) altimeter application. A lap top-based, bench-top assembly is described.
