Abstract
The potential of the Low THz spectrum for high resolution imaging applications such as automotive radar is described. Outdoor experiments require compact and portable equipment which may be achieved by extending the operation of current battery powered vector network analyzers. The development of a hybrid 670 GHz VNA based radar is described including instrument performance data.
