Compact FMCW radar system for navigation application: Transmitter front-end design

Development of transmitter subsystem based on FMCW radar using for navigational application has been presented. It consists of several key components such us frequency generation, splitter, bandpass filter, power amplifier, and the transmitter antenna. It operates in X band frequency with low power consumption. The proposed subsystem was modeled in SystemVue simulation electronic design automation software from Keysight for matching the design, validation and tests its performance. Experimental testing has been done in the laboratory. Transmitter output power reaches 28 dBm (630 mW). According to its performance, this subsystem is successfully meet the requirement.
