Abstract

Many civilian measurement applications can be realized by microwave interferometry. This radar architecture features low hardware and software complexity and can be optimized for highest distance resolutions in the micrometer regime combined with a measurement value update rate of several kilohertz or ultra-low power operation for, e.g., presence detection. Both approaches will be discussed in this talk. After introducing the basic technology and dependencies a detailed introduction to real hardware building blocks for the K band will be given. Also non-ideal effects and approaches for calibrating the system will be given. The talk will close with real world applications spreading from simple presence detection to precise distance measurements, vibration analysis and frequency determination.
