Modern millimetric wave radar systems

A number of recent civilian and military Ka-band and millimetric wave radars are discussed. The advantages, such as weights and size reduction, of millimetric wave radars are described. The feasibility of the production of some of these radar systems is examined. It is concluded that recent advances in millimetric wave technology make solid-state millimetric wave missile guidance systems feasible. The anticipated extremely large volumes expected for this application require reduction in hardware cost.<
