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
