Abstract
The paper presents two radar transceivers operating at Ku-band. These radar transceivers are of complete design employing blocks from frontend to backend and support high-resolution synthetic aperture radar imaging, aiming at the application in human activity sensing. Frequency-modulated continuous wave scheme is adopted for both radar transceivers, free of range-ambiguity while taking the advantages of narrow IF for low-power consumption. Fabricated in a 65nm CMOS, the radar chips work at 1.2V supply, and first chip provides up to 1.5GHz chirp bandwidth, while the second provides upto 2GHz in Ku-band. The chirp can be configured in either triangle or sawtooth mode, exhibits with frequency error of $\sim179$ kHz RMS and covering a configurable RF chirp rate from 0.4 to 3.2GHz/ms. The first radar chip has an active area of 4.06mm2 and consumes 259.4mW, while the second has an active area of 3.24mm2 and consumes 209mW. SAR imaging experiment shows that both chip is able to support to sense the human motion.
