Abstract

Assembly Collision avoidance Frequency Light rail systems Oscillators Power amplifiers Power generation Radar applications Transceivers Transmitters
W-Band radar transceiver system is applied to the application of detecting obstacles on the direct rail path of an on-coming train. This paper presents the system concept, and the initial data confirming the performance requirement of detecting an adult 1000 ft away in a highly cluttered environment. This work was performed on contract for the Siemens Transportation Systems, Inc. And Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
