Abstract

A radar system includes a substrate, a first received antenna, a second receive antenna, and radio frequency (RF) circuitry. The substrate includes a first side and a second side. The first side is opposite the second side. The first receive antenna is disposed at the first side and is configured to receive a first reflected RF signal. The second receive antenna is configured to receive a second reflected RF signal. The RF circuitry is operatively coupled to the first receive antenna and the second receive antenna. The RF circuitry is configured to detect a first object located on the first side of the substrate according to the first reflected RF signal. The RF circuitry is further configured to detect biometric data from a second object located on the second side of the substrate according to the second reflected RF signal.
