Ku-Band Radar with Beamformer Array

The need for advanced detection technology is critical for enhanced security, situational awareness, and premise monitoring. Traditional radar systems operate on lower frequency bands and use a rotating dome for a 360° surround view. The Renesas Ku-Band beamforming system offers a 90° field of view (FoV) from a static plane by adjusting the beam amplitude and phase, providing higher resolution and better detection capabilities for small objects. Coupled with 4 planes, this system enables a 360° surround view from a mechanically static point, ideal for drone detection and airport safety.

System Benefits​:

• The Ku-Band (~14GHz) provides high-resolution detection for small objects within a nearby area (<5km).
• Static plane beamforming enhances system reliability and reduces maintenance by eliminating mechanical rotation.
• 360° continuous monitoring can be achieved by using 4 static planes, eliminating delays associated with mechanical systems.
