Radio Frequency (RF) & Wireless Design

There are many low cost commodity microwave RADAR proximity sensors in the marketplace, mostly for industrial or automotive applications like those used for self-driving cars.

Most are using the 24 GHz or 60 GHz for narrow band operation, while others are using Ultra-WideBand (UWB) as a spectral sensor mostly for very close proximity and for home gaming applications.

I will explore some of these sensors from various manufacturers.
