Passive and active RADAR using Software Defined Radio
Jean-Michel Friedt

RAdio-frequency Detection And Ranging (RADAR) aims at using electromagnetic signals for detecting target location and motion. We demonstrate in this talk various RADAR architectures using dual-channel coherent Software Defined Radio (SDR) receivers and the associated signal processing techniques relying heavily on cross-correlations. Embedded systems are tackled, with a Raspberry Pi providing enough computational power for recording and post-processing.
