Fraunhofer IZM has re-spun the idea of mechanically-steered radar, and developed a PCB-based IoT radar that can be bent into shape to customise its beam. Called Flex-Radar, its antennas are built into two polyimide wings (laid flat in the photo). Instead of active beam steering – which would be too expensive for intended applications, the ...
