Popis: This paper provides a summary of the analysis and design process with respect to the development and prototyping of a Bicycle Radar for a Senior Capstone Project at Wright State University in collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Directorate. The basic radar technology adopted for this project is a commercial integrated (miniaturized) K-band FMCW Monopulse Module that is recently designed for future Intelligent Automotive Cruise Control Applications. The design documentation, preliminary test outputs, and discussions within the sections of this paper describe a number of novel features of this Bicycle Radar Design including the methodology for overlaying the K-band range-angle data onto streaming video on the iPhone. Additional discussions pertain to radar waveform generation, control, and processing. A section on potential follow-on activities as well as a discussion on technology options and applications of the resulting system concept is also provided.
