WSQ: The Next Frontier in Radar Systems

Presentation Abstract
The frontier of next-generation radar is shaped by advances in mm-wave, UWB, and AI-assisted phased array technologies. In the D-Band, SiGe implementations enable instantaneous bandwidths up to 56GHz, delivering millimeter-level resolution and unlocking applications in imaging, non-destructive testing, and metrology. In parallel, UWB radar provides low-power, high-precision sensing for presence detection, vital-sign monitoring, and in-cabin safety. Complementing these developments, AI-driven phased arrays are emerging as enablers of adaptive beamforming, joint radar-communications (ISAC), and scalable multi-antenna architectures. This talk will highlight circuit and system design challenges, analog front-end techniques, and prototype results, illustrating how SiGe mm-wave, UWB, and AI-enhanced phased arrays together define the future of high-resolution radar.
