Long-Range Drone Detection of 24 G FMCW Radar with E-plane Sectoral Horn Array

Long-Range Drone Detection of 24 G FMCW Radar with E-plane Sectoral Horn Array

In this work, a 24-GHz frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar system with two sectoral horn antennas and one transmitting lens antenna for long-range drone detection is presented. The present work demonstrates the detection of a quadcopter-type drone using the implemented radar system up t...
