The bistatic and monostatic transceivers are implemented in the SiGe bipolar technology and packaged using the embedded wafer-level ball grid array (eWLB) technology that allows for direct embedding of the antennas in the package redistribution layer. In this way, very compact and efficient radar frontends comprising all millimeter-wave components can be implemented in an 8 × 8 mm 2 package. These frontends were soldered on a standard low-cost PCB based on FR4 material. For verification of the proposed frontends, an FMCW radar system was developed and set up within this work. Theoretical considerations and simulations as well as corresponding measurements were carried out for the evaluation of the designed system. The demonstrator results of these embedded radar sensors show excellent system performance at a high integration level.
