Millimeter wave radar for high resolution 3D near field imaging for robotics and security scans

This paper presents different millimeter wave systems for robotic mapping and localization as well as for security scan applications. The 2D system in the first part of this paper is mechanically rotating the radar module to allow a continous revolving FMCW radar beam in azimuth plane. This extracted data is compared with the data of a LiDAR system. In the second part 3D imaging systems are presented based on synthetic aperture radar and MIMO arrays.
