Radar Front Ends (FMCW)

Compact FMCW Radar Front End for High-Resolution Sensing

Farran’s FMCW Radar Front End is a high-performance, compact transceiver module engineered for advanced radar applications. Built around a GaAs MMIC chipset, it delivers wide instantaneous bandwidth and excellent signal fidelity in a small-outline package, making it ideal for space-constrained and performance-critical systems.

The transmit signal is derived from an external VCO, internally multiplied and used as the local oscillator for the receive mixer. The resulting IF signal is conditioned through optimized gain and filtering stages, delivering an industry-leading noise figure, particularly at low IF frequencies. Custom configurations are available to support specific radar performance targets and seamless system integration.

What customers are saying

Testimonials and reviews from our customers
As a test engineer my role is to ensure that new designs, as well as established products, are measured with the utmost accuracy. Over the years, Farran’s FEV extenders have delivered unparalleled dynamic range and long-term stability of the measurements without the need for frequent calibrations. They can be easily configured with wide range of our VNAs and are seamlessly controlled via the VNAs user interface. Great customer support and direct access to Farran’s engineers, coupled with the FEV performance and their reliability, make my job simple and stress-free.
Principal Test Engineer European Radar & Sensor Testing Enterprise
As a manager of the R&D group, we needed to pivot to mm-wave frequency for our new development plan. Our existing test equipment required upgrading and after an extensive search, we found Farran’s FEV range of extenders to be the best solution for our needs. We had direct communications with all the relevant Farran personnel from the outset and were able to get real time feedback and support for the many questions we had prior to purchase. Overall, Farran’s FEV range is the perfect solution to our R&D mm-wave requirements.
