Abstract

Beamforming systems operating at millimeter-wave frequencies provide spatial selectivity, array gain and wide bandwidth, which benefit point-to-point Gb/s wireless communication network and high-resolution radar applications. In this thesis, a 60 GHz beamforming transmitter for a pulse Doppler radar is designed, which can be used for indoor presence detection. Our treatment includes system definition, proposing a system architecture, and circuit-level implementation.
