Allmänna uppgifter

Avdelning: Electrical and Information Technology
Kurstyp: Ren forskarutbildningskurs
Undervisningsspråk: English, Swedish

Syfte

The course is aimed at graduate students to understand and practically implement a radar system from commercially available electronic building blocks, and use the system in practical measurements. This provides a holistic view of a practical high-frequency electronic system, where the entire chain from hardware to algorithms is illustrated.

Lecture notes, in part, from the MIT course ”Build a Small Radar System Capable of Sensing Range, Doppler, and Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging”.

Kursens undervisningsformer

Undervisningsformer: Föreläsningar, laborationer. Lectures and tutorial meetings. Most of the course is conducted as an independent laboratory work in groups, where participants take great responsibility in the design, ordering and assembly of components, and the testing and evaluation of the system. Doctoral students constructions discussed in meetings with teachers and other students.
