The availability of compact radar sensors and the development of increasingly cost-effective radar sensors make the technology interesting for industrial applications. The focus was initially on developments requiring a moderate measurement speed, such as level sensors for silos. However, radar sensors offer several advantages, making them suitable for a whole spectrum of metrological tasks. This includes the ability to measure the distance to surfaces with μm resolution, to know how to screen non-electrically conductive materials, to be able to carry out several thousand measurements per second or to be able to generate high-resolution 2D or 3D images. This paper aims to shed light on the various aspects of the use of radar systems for industrial applications.eninspectionmicrowave imagingmillimeter wave radarprocess controlradar measurementsSynthetic aperture radarconference paper
