- Abstract
In this research, a manpack radar is designed using frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) technology. The signal is continuously transmitted by separate antennas with microstrip array antenna technology for the transmitter and receiver. The use of new technology allows the manpack radar to detect targets using low transmit power (=10 W) so that it can operate on batteries. With dimensions of 520 mm (W) x 410 mm (H) x 108 mm (D) and weighing only 15.9 kg, this radar can be easily carried by personnel for maneuvering in the field. Although the dimensions of this manpack radar system are small, it has high detection capability, whereby it can detect drones, humans, small vehicles and large vehicles at ranges of up to 2, 3, and 5 km respectively. In addition, this radar system not only detects targets horizontally, but also vertically so that it can calculate the height of the target. It can also track multiple targets simultaneously and display the parameters of each target, such as distance, speed and altitude. With these aspects, this radar system design is effective for use by Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) personnel in the field to conduct surveillance for supporting combat operations.
