Abstract

This work address the implementation of a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave radar based on Software Defined Radio. In particular, we have simulated a USRP device implementing the radar system, in order to determine the radar performances, specially in terms of achievable range and range spatial resolution. We have considered the Ettus system X300/X310 equipped with a UBX 10-6000 MHz Rx/Tx daughterboard. The different simulation demonstrate that the radar would achieve a range of 3Km with a range resolution in the order of 10m. Additional simulations at different carrier frequencies detail the achievable radar performance.
