Radar fulfills these conditions. To be able to see also cables and other small scale structures, millimeter wave radar is a favourite candidate for this task. To be able to develop adequate collision avoidance algorithms, a data base of relevant background signatures has to be available. Measurements with a 94 GHz high resolution radar have been conducted over wooded and rocky terrain. The paper describes the measurement set-up and gives representative results.en621conference paper
