Abstract
In order to automate the driving of terrestrial vehicles it is necessary to know at any time and with the highest accuracy the values of the speed of the vehicle and of the distance covered by the vehicle; it is also necessary to know the direction of the motion relative to the ground. These values must be measured in the real-time domain and this involves that contactless and very low time-constant sensors must be used. On the other hand, the applications concerned ask for a miniaturization of the whole measurement system. For these reasons, sensors using the Doppler effect in the microwave range are particularly well convenient to these applications. We developed an X band microwave Doppler cinemometer (MDC) with a printed antenna that is built using microstrip technology.
