RADAR SYSTEM AND METHODS OF CONTROLLING A RADAR SYSTEM AND THE PROVISION OF A RANGE-DOPPLER TARGET IMAGE SIGNATURE

摘要

A feed structure for a wearable antenna incorporates a microstrip transmission line designed for mounting on opposite sides of a fabric. The transmission line has a perforated ground plane which reduces capacitance and offers an appropriate impedance, even when the fabric is thin, and allows the use of a relatively robust line conductor having a width of 3mm or 5mm or more. The ground plane can be extended to provide the ground plane of a balun and the material of that ground plane can in turn be extended to provide the wearable antenna.
