A 260-mW Ku-Band FMCW Transceiver for Synthetic Aperture Radar Sensor With 1.48-GHz Bandwidth in 65-nm CMOS Technology

Monolithic integration of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) transceiver with small size, lightweight, and low power consumption is suitable for uploading to a compact unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for SAR imaging. This paper presents a monolithic frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) SAR transceiver that works at Ku-band and centers at 15 GHz. Techniques to address the special requirements of UA...
