In this paper, the design and development of a smart microwave radar is described. The system has been designed with the aim of realizing a cost-effective flexible radar, capable of detecting short-range targets (within 5 m) and suitable for the integration in different scenarios. The miniaturization of the radar has been possible by working within the available ISM band extending from 24 to 25 GHz. A pulsed chirp has been used to achieve a high resolution (up to 15 cm with a 1 GHz chirp bandwidth). In addition, the transmitted signal has been pulsed thus achieving a lower power consumption. A system prototype has been realized and several tests have been carried out for confirming the expected performance.

Abstract
In this paper, the design and development of a smart microwave radar is described. The system has been designed with the aim of realizing a cost-effective flexible radar, capable of detecting short-range targets (within 5 m) and suitable for the integration in different scenarios. The miniaturization of the radar has been possible by working within the available ISM band extending from 24 to 25 GHz. A pulsed chirp has been used to achieve a high resolution (up to 15 cm with a 1 GHz chirp bandwidth). In addition, the transmitted signal has been pulsed thus achieving a lower power consumption. A system prototype has been realized and several tests have been carried out for confirming the expected performance.Pubblicazioni consigliate
