This paper describes a compact broadband (73-80 GHz) mm-Wave front-end used for FOD detection application. The design philosophy of our system is to have several low-profile, low-cost mm-Wave sensors placed along the runway. Tests were conducted on the small airport of Aix Les Milles (south of France). High sensitivity and simultaneous objects...

This paper presents the results of FOD measurements conducted using a broadband 78 GHz radar sensor. Previous studies with a short-range setup up to 30 m showed promising results. However, to meet the requirements of the intended application, the range has to be increased significantly. As for all radar systems, the range can be extended by...

Design of a folded reflectarray antenna (FRA) by phase only control to provide a cosecan squared beam pattern in elevation and a pencil-beam pattern in azimuth to detect objects on the ground, e.g., on runways. A very compact folded reflectarray antenna was fabricated and its radiation pattern over frequency was simulated. During the design...

We describe the design, fabrication and measurements of an axisymmetric dielectric lens, featuring a sectorial radiation pattern at 77 GHz. It will be used as the primary feed of a lens-based compact antenna test range (CATR). Due to symmetry of revolution, the sectorial lens profile can be designed in one dimension by using phase only control....
