The amount of the radar-based consumer applications is dramatically increasing. Starting from a simple motion detector for lighting control and door openers, up to a sophisticated MIMO sensor technology for traffic monitoring or presence detection in railway stations, radar is used to enhance comfort and safety in our daily life. Advancement of novel radar algorithms and techniques in combination with ever increasing processing capabilities offer an opportunity for a vast amount of novel radar sensing applications that can be explored. Advanced silicon-based semiconductor technologies enable high level of integration with digital baseband, whilst providing excellent characteristics at mm-wave frequencies. Hence, this workshop discusses recent developments in the implementation and application of highly-integrated mm-wave radar systems for emerging industrial and consumer applications. Seven speakers will present various aspects of mm-wave radar systems from highly integrated chipsets, novel algorithms, and advanced signal processing techniques to emerging radar-based applications.

First, micro-Doppler effect in radar is discussed and its opportunities for emerging industrial and consumer applications are considered. Next, cutting edge application of radar-based material and object classification is presented. Further, advanced signal processing techniques are discussed for micro-Doppler signature recognition of radar-based thru-wall indoor human monitoring. Next, machine learning for microDoppler pattern recognition of perceptive cyber-physical IoT systems based on 140 GHz radar sensors is discussed. Thereafter, novel radar concept based on interferometry is discussed. The next talk addresses high volume low-cost 24GHz highly-integrated Doppler radar and a MIMO radar for traffic monitoring. Finally, highly-integrated 60GHz radar chipset and a demonstrator using micro-Doppler effect for gesture recognition is presented.
