Cover Story: The miniature sensor integrates a printed slot antenna, a low-noise amplifier and an active mixer in a single unit, which is sufficiently small to enable sensor separation distance as small as 12 mm. The sensor converts the microwave signal into an intermediate-frequency signal in the low MHz range resulting in drastic reduction of the complexity of the multiplexing network and improvement of the system dynamic range.
