Bi-static Millimeter Wave Radar Connected by Radio over Fiber for FOD Detection on Runways

We are investigating the millimeter wave radar system to cover the vast space with high rage resolution obtained by the combination of 90 GHz millimeter wave and Radio over Fiber (RoF) technologies. This paper shows the development of the bi-static radar connected by RoF to create the 2-D map from 1-D data by two remote antennas for position estimation. We also show the evaluation results of the 2-D positioning error for the bi-static radar system.
