Research abstract
TSC has developed a low-cost, small SWaP Linear FM Continuous Wave (CW) homodyne radar sensor, compatible with many small UAS. The sensor measures range using Linear FM ranging, and measures angle in 2 dimensions using a multi-channel interferometer. The Miniature Angle Sensing Radar (MASR) is part of a family of TSC designed and built low-cost, small SWaP radar sensors based on the principle of using a Linear FM homodyne receiver architecture and FPGA-based Digital Signal Processing to reduce parts counts and therefore decrease power consumption and cost. TSC proposes to perform specific and limited modifications to the MASR sensor to be used as a Sense and Avoid (SAA) radar sensor in small Group 2/3 UAS, providing all-weather, day/night, SAA performance in a low-cost, small SWaP package.
