dc.description.abstractDetection and classification of nano-targets (less than 5 cm in size) are becoming important technical challenges as nano-targets are largely invisible to conventional radar. Nano-drones, for example, may soon become a tangible threat capable of providing short-range stealthy surveillance. Similarly, insect pests are posing a significant agricultural risk by causing crop losses and subsequently reducing the yields. Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar is a technology that can provide short-range detection, with no blind range and very high resolution, at a relatively low cost. This paper presents the latest results of an ongoing project aiming at designing and developing a low-cost and bespoke 24 GHz FMCW radar prototype to enable detection of nano-targets and extract their Doppler signatures. A home-brew S-band FMCW radar prototype has been initially designed and developed, using off-the-shelf components, to demonstrate the feasibility of our proposed design solution and inform all future activities at 24 GHz. Several experiments have been carried out to test the S-band prototype and assess its performance against larger drones and cars. Results have shown targets could be successfully detected and their micro-Doppler signatures extracted using Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) techniques.en_UK
