This paper describes a 94 GHz FMCW radar system for unmanned vehicles using 94 GHz 1 Tx and 4 RX chips designed in a 65-nm CMOS process. The measured output power of the transmitter and the conversion gain of the receiver were 9.77 dBm and 26 dB, respectively. The simulated noise figure of the receiver chip was 8 dB. The Tx and Rx antennas were microstrip patch antennas with a gain of 11 dBi on a Duroid substrate. The chirp period of the sawtooth FMCW waveform was 50 μs. The baseband signal was bandpass-filtered with a passband gain of 26 dB and sampled at a rate of 50 MSPS with a 14-bit ADC. The output of the ADC was acquired using an FPGA. The distance and angle information of the target were calculated using the FFT-based algorithm. The processed results closely matched the calculated results based on the specifications of TRx chips and processing gain, which confirmed the validity of the developed radar system.
