THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A C-BAND RAIL-SAR AND AN S-BAND DOPPLER RADAR

Abstract

To help students learn the principles of microwave engineering and electromagnetic theory, labs were developed in which the students built a rail-synthetic aperture radar(SAR) and a Doppler radar. These labs gave the students practical experience in the paper design, simulation, construction, testing, and debugging of RF circuits. This paper includes a description of the design, physical construction, the basic operation, and the results from these projects.
