Abstract

A design of a low-cost K-band FMCW radar 
module with integrated microstrip antenna arrays and onboard digital signal processing has been presented. The radar utilizes antenna arrays with series feeding network which minimizes dissipation losses and allows for realization of high-gain antennas. The radar’s microcontroller unit is able to perform complete signal processing at real time which makes the presented sensor suitable for fully autonomous operation. 
Moreover, the presented radar module is capable of performing interferometric measurements. The interferometric capability of the developed unit allows for measurements of object displacement with precision on the order of tens of micrometers
