Capability

MMW, wholly owned by Honeywell International consists of a group of experienced engineers whose primary focus is millimeter-wave transceiver front-end and FMCW radar equipment. For the past years MMW team has been devoted to the building of standard and custom component as well as integrated modules products. While these products are sold separately, our component line offers the consumer a foundation for building small, light, and high-performance radar systems. As part of Honeywell International, the technical team of MMW will lead the radar product developments for both civilian and defense markets. The millimeter-wave radar sensor approach featuring advanced millimeter-wave and FMCW technology for automated carrier landing system; compact airborne radar for UAV sense-and-avoid in National Airspace; light-weight unmanned aerial vehicle radar features Moving Target Indicator (MTI) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) modes for small UAV’s to support small unit operations.

The MMIC device is the cornerstone of our active devices. These MMICs have the most significant impact on the specification and resolution performance of our millimeter-wave transceiver and FMCW radar products. MMW team is unique in that it has its own MMIC design capacity and, in conjunction with MMIC foundries, is producing its own MMIC products.

Besides millimeter-wave transceiver and FMCW radar products, we have also developed other critical elements of millimeter-wave radar systems. These include a DDS-based linear FMCW exciter with measured linearity better than a tenth of a millions, millimeter-wave target simulators using optical delay line to simulate target returns at any distance, an FPGA-based adaptive leakage-cancellation circuit to achieve low-noise performance of mono-static antennas, and high-power amplifiers with output power up to 2-Watts at W-band and 100 Watts at Ka-band.

While MMW is focused on the millimeter-wave transceiver and FMCW radar markets, we have the capacity to develope other products from DC to 110 GHz, giving us significant diversity in meeting new opportunities that are extensions of the basic building blocks established for millimeter-wave transceiver and FMCW radar products.
