Abstract

This paper presents a high range resolution radar sensor working in the submillimeter-wave band for standoff detection and security applications. Low-cost technologies have been properly selected in order to implement a versatile and easily scalable radar system. A large operational bandwidth, required for high range resolution, is attained by means of a frequency multiplication-based architecture. This radar system sweeps a bandwidth of 27 GHz. The final application allows the generation of 3D images by means of the radar front-end integrated with a bifocal ellipsoidal Gregorian reflector system. The scene of interest is elliptically scanned at a standoff range of 8 m.
