Abstract

This paper presents an experimental study to evaluate the effects of antenna radiation parameters on the detection capabilities of a 2.4 GHz Doppler radar used in noncontact vibrometer systems. Four different types of patch antennas and array configurations are implemented on both the transmitter and receiver sides of the system. Extensive experiments using a linear actuator and a metal plate are performed and several interesting and nontrivial results are reported. The optimized antenna configuration is shown to result in the highest signal quality and system performance.
