Ground Penetration Radar and Sensing from RF to Millimeter-Wave Frequencies
Abstract
Ground Penetration Radar and Sensing from RF to Millimeter-Wave Frequencies. the purchase of a Keysight Technologies Network Analyzer PNA-X for the measurements and characterization of advanced ultra-wideband (UWB) and millimeter-wave radars and their related circuits. This 4-port Network Analyzer PNA-X is capable of measuring device and system non-linearity, accurate cross-talk and pulse-signal analysis to 110 GHz. The requested advanced instrument will contribute significantly to the area of UWB and millimeterwave radar research and their related circuits and antennas which have been a strong focus at the University of California, Davis. This instrument would also be essential in the development of the ground penetration radar for detecting metal objects under the ONR funding. The PNA-X would be key to the development of millimeter-wave radar in the W-band (75-110 GHz) to achieve high resolution soil imaging for mine detection. It would also assist in advancement of millimeter-wave radar for detecting small metal objects such as concealed weapons that UC Davis is developing.
