Microwave Sensors Inc. in Ann Arbor Michigan makes a small inexpensive radar
alarm that is used to to determine if a truck is at a loading dock. It could
be used along with the gear switch to trigger a voice chip that says "gear
is down for land landing " or "gear is up for water landing" . I think all
the parts could be bought for under $150.00.

The 77Ghz system may have potential, especially if fitted with a counter
or tone.

Anyone know the current industry state?
Development of a new powerful but low cost radar network for automotive
applications
Since early 1999, first 77 GHz far distance radar sensors based on
conventional RFcomponents
are commercially available. Suitable only for a limited range of
applications,
e.g. adaptive cruise control (ACC), performance of these sensors is too
low and
production costs are too high for more demanding automotive mass
applications. Near
distance sensors are presently under development with 24 GHz technology.
Due to
bandwidth limitations at 24 GHz and the single sensor design, they have
only a poor
range resolution and no angular resolution. Within RadarNet, both, near
and far distance
sensors, will be realised using one integrated 77 GHz MMIC technology.
With this new
integrated high performance design powerful transmit/receive-modules
(T/R) will be
developed, that will serve as a basis for different types of smart new
77 GHz sensors. As
a consequence, sensor dimensions and costs will be reduced
significantly. All
components of the radar network will thus be produced with only one
manufacturing
technology.
