A basic radar system makes radar accessible at low cost for experiments
with rangefinding and navigation of autonomous aircraft or spacecraft.
This relatively compact, cheap, simple FMCW radar operates in the spectrum
around 5.8-6.0 GHz and is aimed at lowering the barrier to entry for
experiments with radar and general education around RF/microwave
electronics.
It is capable of speed measurement, rangefinding and SAR imaging (with
appropriate moving antennas or a moving vehicle.) It is potentially
applicable to experiments with autonomous aircraft (or spacecraft)
altitude-finding, SAR imaging/mapping or navigation as an alternative to
(or in addition to) other sensing techniques such as GPS, ultrasonics,
LIDAR or barometry, without some of the limitations applicable to those
technologies.
