Obstacle detection using a miniaturized radar sensor operating at 120GHz ISM band

Currently, all drone manufactures face the same problem: flight safety utility will become mandatory to obtain the legal admission for broad commercial use of drones. This means that on-board obstacle detection and collision avoidance is a must-have in order to overcome existing legal barriers and acceptance issues. Some of the currently available sensors are too large, too heavy, or can be poorly integrated into existing systems. During the exhibition a demonstration of a novel micro-sensor operating at 120 GHz will be given and participants will have the chance to experience the device first-hand.
