Two Dimensional Radar Imaging Algorithm of Bistatic Millimeter Wave Radar for FOD Detection on Runways

We are investigating the millimeter wave radar system to cover the vast space with high range resolution. These challenges are owing to the combination of 90GHz millimeter wave and Radio over Fiber (RoF) technologies. In this paper, we introduce millimeter wave radar technology networked using RoF. In addition, we introduce 2-D radar image generation from three 1-D distance measurement results. And we show the measurement results conducted in the laboratory.
