12th Tom Brazil Doctoral School of Microwaves
Practical Workshop: Build a Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave Radar in 1-day
Date: 25h September 2022 9:00 – 18:30, ROOM 4
Location: Amber 6, MiCo Milan
Organiser: David Ricketts, North Carolina State University
Chair of the school: David Ricketts, North Carolina State University
Abstract
In this workshop you will learn the theory and design of FMCW Radar. With this theoretical foundation, you will design, simulate and fabricate by hand, each component of the radar. You will then work in a team to assemble a complete radar and test it before the end of the class. The only background you need is basic microwave engineering knowledge and a desire to learn and build with your hands!
