Homemade 6 GHz pulse compression radar
Introduction
FMCW and pulse radar architectures.
I have previously made several FMCW radars that
have worked well. FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) radar is quite easy
and cheap to make. It uses separate transmit and receive antennas, which avoids
the need for switching between receiving and transmitting. It mixes the received
signal with the transmitted signal, resulting in a low output frequency, making it
possible to use low-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC). However, big,
