Abstract

Two different 35 GHz low-cost RF front-end Doppler units suited for automotive applications have been constructed. The homodyne unit consists of both receiving and transmitting corporate-fed microstrip patch array antennas, a microstrip directional coupler, a monolithic GaAs FECTED oscillator and an integrated single Schottky diode mixer. The autodyne configuration uses only one antenna and the FECTED as a self-oscillating mixer. Inexpensive microstrip technology has been used which yields a good compromise between cost factor and technical performance.
