IMST’s 35 GHz FMCW Radar sR35-12VHe and the Developer-Kit DK-sR35-12VHe are designed for high accuracy and fast distance measurements. It enables a 2.6 GHz bandwidth from 33.4 to 36.0 GHz. Transmit and receive antennas are designed for linear horizontal (H) and vertical (V) polarization, which enables the characterization of material properties. The radar has been designed for structural monitoring of rotor blades on wind turbines.The user has access to internal radar results via an advanced data interface.
The 35 GHz radar module is a result of the R&D project Profi-Wind "Application-oriented Rotor Blade Monitoring using Millimetre Wave Radar".
