Radar Transceivers: How To Connect The Antennas


There are different antenna options for transmitting and receiving a radar signal. This blog will focus on how to connect a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) radar transceiver to the antennas in a way that guarantees an efficient transfer of the signals. mmWave MMIC to antenna interfaces At millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies, any transitions between two different transmission l... » read more

Radar For Automotive: How Far Can A Radar See?


In the previous entries of this blog dedicated to automotive radar, the reason for using radar and the principle of operation of the frequency modulated continuous wave radar were presented. Now, we will focus on the performance of the system, starting with its maximum detection range: how far can we detect an obstacle ahead? We need to have as much foresight as possible, to be able to detect a... » read more

EDA Software Design Flow Considerations For The RF/Microwave Module Designer


Miniaturization of consumer products, aerospace and defense systems, medical devices, and LED arrays has spawned the development of a technology known as the multi-chip module (MCM), which combines multiple integrated circuits (ICs), semiconductor die, and other discrete components within a unifying substrate for use as a single component. This white paper outlines the steps for implementing an... » read more
