Learn How To Build Your Own FMCW Radar At Home Using AWR Software

When: Tuesday, September 29
Time: 9:00 a.m. PT
Who: Dr. David S. Ricketts, North Carolina State University (NCSU)

Sponsored by Cadence, this IEEE MTT-S webinar, presented by Dr. David S. Ricketts of NCSU, demonstrates how to design, simulate and build a 2.4GHz frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar at home or in the lab. Cadence AWR Design Environment software will be used to design the system, including mixer, power amplifier, coupler, low noise amplifier and filter components, as well as the transmission line structures. The system will then be electromagnetically (EM) simulated. Finally, fabrication and testing will be described using the methods developed by Dr. Ricketts’ for his well-known Bits2Waves workshop.
