Abstract(in English) This report discusses the performance measurement results of the 76 GFIz millimeter-wave radar system for autonomous unmanned helicopters. The purpose of the radar is to detect and avoid obstacles that may affect flight safety. To achieve these objectives, the radar system is required to have high range resolution and a long detection range, while maintaining small volume and weight. Firstly, the block diagram and the specification of the radar system are briefly explained. Then, the range resolution measurement is carried out to examine the performance of the 6 GHz bandwidth of the RF transmitting signal. Secondly, the results of the power line detection test are discussed. The reflection from the power line, which is about 140 m ahead, is confirmed around 30 dB signal-to-noise ratio. Finally, the results of the radar system on-board test are evaluated. The real-time radar scope is obtained from the radar, which is mounted on the unmanned helicopter.
