This paper describes the design and some technological developments for a 94-GHz heterodyne chirp radar prototype
for space debris detection. We use off-the-shelf components for both the signal generation and the acquisition subsystems and W-band GaN solid-state technology for the high-power Tx/Rx modules. Several radiating structures are considered in order to expand the system for monopulse tracking operation.
