Abstract

A novel system that allows for 3D radar detection that simultaneously captures the lateral and depth features of a target is disclosed. This system uses only a single transceiver, a set of delay-lines, and a passive antenna array, all without requiring mechanical rotation. By using the delay lines, a set of beat frequencies corresponding to the target presence can be generated in continuous wave radar systems. Likewise, in pulsed radar systems, the delays also allow the system to determine the 3D aspects of the target(s). Compared to existing solutions, the invention, in embodiments, allows for the implementation of simple, reliable, and power efficient 3D radars.
