This paper describes a compact, low cost 50 GHz-band integrated doppler radar module for an automobile ground speed sensor in which a copper embedded Fine Grained Alumina (FGA) substrate is successfully used for good heat-sinking and grounding. Results of an initial study on oscillator stabilization by a dielectric resonator in the millimeterwave region is also described.
