Novel Thru-Wall Radar-on-chip Technology

Dr. Gaurab Banerjee and his research group at the ECE department have developed a radar-on-chip technology for thru-wall imaging applications. An entire radar transceiver, consisting of one transmitter, three receivers and a wideband frequency synthesizer was implemented on a semiconductor chip, smaller than a grain of rice. This technology has several applications in security, healthcare, transportation and infrastructure and is currently being developed into a full product.
