No idea what they are using but TI makes a bunch of parts that do radar in the MM wave band which is what that frequency is in. http://www.ti.com/sensors/mmwav

- wbl 8y agoSo I just looked up the prices on Mouser and Digikey for an amplifier or mixer in those frequencies, and boy are they expensive. The R&D spend must be enormous for them not to be making those parts in these frequencies as separate bits.
- apcragg 8y agoI mean, you can make a RADAR with a single transistor, 2 diodes, an exotic but off the shelf VCO, and clever transmission lines. I doubt the R&D cost is very high for for the MMIC here.
- madengr 8y agoTI is making a 60 GHz RADAR in a CMOS process. I’m sure R&D costs were heavy, but production will be cheap. https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1333330 https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1333330
