System-level microwave design: radar-based laboratory projects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two laboratory projects—a Doppler radar and a synthetic aperture radar (SAR)—designed to augment traditional electromagnetics education are proposed. The projects introduce students to component and system level design and expose them to modern computer-aided design (CAD) tools, microstrip and surface mount fabrication technologies, and industry standard test equipment and procedures. Additionally, because the projects result in a working radar system, students gain new enthusiasm for the electromagnetics discipline and directly see its relevance in the engineering field. Implementation of these laboratories within the curriculum have proven to be highly motivational and educational and have even contributed to increased enrollments in upper division electromagnetics courses.

A Wideband Radar for Mapping Internal Layers in the Polar Icesheets for Estimating Accumulation Rate
Determination of the mass balance of the polar ice sheets requires information on the accumulation rate. Remote sensing methods to determine the accumulation rate are essential in reducing the uncertainty associated with interpolating in situ measurements that are obtained from ice cores and pits. This is essential to reducing the 20% of uncertainty in current accumulation rate maps. Using data...
متن کاملDevelopment of Ultra-Wideband Short-Range Impulse Radar System for Vehicular Applications
This paper introduces a state-of-art on an ultra-wideband (UWB) technology in intelligent transport systems (ITS). To examine the detection performance of a UWB short-range radar for vehicular applications, we developed a 26-GHz band short-range UWB radar system with an embedded compact MMIC-based RF module. In this paper, we briefly comment on the current regulatory environment for UWB radar s...

متن کاملCp-sar Uav Development
Up till now, only linearly polarized microwave radiation are employed by the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems onboard spaceborne platforms. In general, such linearly polarized SAR (LP-SAR) systems are very sensitive to Faraday rotation in the ionosphere and platform posture, both of which will contribute to system noise superposed on the resulting backscattering signature. So as to improv...
