We are developing an unconventional Transition Radiation Detector (SiTRD), based on silicon strip detectors (SSDs) operating in a magnetic field region. The SiTRD combines the particle identification performance of a TRD with the high precision tracking capability of SSDs and can be suitable for both accelerator and cosmic ray experiments, where particle identification and momentum reconstruction are required. The main issues related to the design of a SiTRD will be presented and the experimental results obtained with reduced scale SiTRD prototypes exposed to an electron-pion beam with momenta up to 5 GeV/c will be shown
