Novel concept of RF hardware for remote sensing technologies

Abstract

This paper presents a new alternative for design of modern hi-resolution remote sensing devices for application in consumer products. Near-field radars may perform security, bio or gesture detection tasks. New approach is especially introduced in prototype of system-on-chip (SoC) radar used as smart motion sensor embedded in TV set. Moreover, we focused mainly on critical issues of design: integration microwave RF circuits, ultra-low power consumption and low cost solution for mass product.
