1 Single-Channel Radar Transceiver
- Radar Functions: Range Finder; Presence Detection; Velocity; Basic Target Tracking
- Small IC dimensions; analogue front-end; concept of external PLL; ADC or µ-processor
- Wide selection of frequency bands
- At frequencies beyond 100GHz with OnChip-antennas
- Comparable simple sensor architecture
2 Multi-Channel-Transceiver for MIMO Radars
- Multiple transmit and receive channels integrated on one chip; comparable complex IC architecture;
- Radar Functions: Range Finder; Angular Information; Antenna Diversity; 2D/3D Visioning; Velocity; Advanced Target Tracking
- Significant IC dimensions, analogue front-end; concept of external PLL; ADC or µ-processor
- Only OffChip antennas because of chip dimension
3 Special Featured Chips – Ultra Wideband Radars
- Radar Functions: thickness measurement; spectroscopy, excellent resolution with micrometer precision; life-signs detection; pressure sensors
- Small IC dimensions / Comparable simple sensor architecture
- OnChip antennas because of wideband characteristic
