In industrial environments, radar sensors are often used to determine distance, speed, and angle. (Active) radar tags enable the identification of objects or positions. In the development of such tags, the antenna design plays an important role in ensuring the visibility of the tags and at the same time reducing mutual interference.

For a new kind of radar tag currently investigated at IHE, transmitting & receiving (TX&RX) antennas and RF feeding chain designs are to be developed in this thesis. The RF antenna initial target performance are:

-Frequency range: 60 - 64GHz,

-RL > 10dB

-Gain 6-7dBi

-Isolation TX&RX > 40dB

The antenna isolation is crucial in this design, and the designer is expected to tackle it and mitigate it with different techniques to meet the requirement. This is an excellent opportunity for a student to deeply expand existing knowledge on antenna and RF design, prototyping and antenna measurements.
