The first radar has been patented 110 years ago. Meanwhile the applications became numerous and the system concepts have been adopted to the available technologies. Typical applications are speed control, air traffic control, synthetic aperture radar, airborne and spaceborne missions, military applications and remote sensing. Research for medical radar applications is well progressing for breast cancer detection and tumor localization. Automobile radar for save and autonomous driving are meanwhile produced in millions per year. In the next years the state-of-the-art radar system concepts will experience almost a revolution. Despite the significant advancements, the radar system technology did not develop like communications or other technologies during the last 20 years. Some of these new technologies will within a few years penetrate radar and revolutionize radar system concepts. This will then allow for new radar features and radar signal processing approaches.
