ABSTRACT:
Compact microwave and millimeter wave radars operating at 77 GHz and having resolution of no less than 3.2 meters at a distance of 100 meters. The exemplary dimensions of the radars are 145 millimeters in diameter and 100 or 85 millimeters long. The antenna of the radars employs folded optic design, with the actual focal length of the radar being less than that of the lens in the antenna alone.
