Nowadays the complete functionality of Most Radar systems contain at least a transmitter and receiver, an antenna, and a radar system processor. Today, those parts can all be integrated in a tiny little very small silicon chip. Ultrashort wavelengths at high frequencies enable sharp, high-resolution radar images. This provides which enables Radar systems that also fit a breakthrough for the use of radar in a broad spectrum of lot new and future use cases. It is not only about automotive radars for driver assistance systems. There are a countless number of applications which will make use of the advantages of radar in future: * High-precision contactless range finding; presence and motion detection, * Adjustable measurement range *Transparency of non-metallic materials; no need for line of sight; sensors can be covered in housings *Robust against harsh environments like rain, temperature, noise, wind or dust *Safe solution even under extreme process conditions; explosion protection and simple verification of intrinsic safety *Transmission radars for material analysis and quality control *Detection of special materials such as glass, water or absorbent materials like rubber or down feathers *Comparably low effort and easy-to-handle signal processing *Beyond 100GHz RF signals are encapsulated within chip package; no need for RFdesigns on PCB <span style="color:Orange">'''Radar is superior in all technical aspects and perfectly suited for sensor fusion'''</span>
→Concept
A Radar transmits electromagnetic waves and receives electromagnetic waves that have been reflected on objects in a region of interest. Most surfaces reflect incoming waves at least partly back towards the source. The reflected waves contain information about the object. This can information include its range, velocity, angular direction, size, and shape.
