Abstract

This paper presents a compact continuous wave Doppler radar architecture at 2.4 GHz. The system provides a low-cost solution to remotely monitor vibrations of any object. In the RF system, two separate antennas are used for the transmitter and receiver. The receiver works in homodyne mode. A single microwave oscillator is used to transmit continuous wave signal as well as the synchronized local oscillator for the receiver. An opamp base band electronics separate the small receiver output signal from a large dc offset due to homodyne operation. In comparison to other approaches, number of components are minimized.
