Description
Radar stands for Radio Detection and Ranging, and it is one of the inventions that changed the world. Radar transmits radio frequency (RF) waves into the environment and receives reflected signals from the objects in that environment, thereby detecting targets and generating images. Initially, radars were used for defense applications only. It was in the late 1930s that the first radar was developed for defense application, and since then radar technology is continuously developing. Now radars have ubiquitous use in a number of non-defense applications as well, where they are playing a crucial role, such as air and road traffic control, biomedical, and under-water navigation. The workshop will provide participants with a broad overview of radar systems, their inner workings, as well as current research in the field. The workshop will start from a tutorial lecture on the workings of basic radar. This lecture will take place on 12 Jan and all those wishing to attend the workshop MUST attend the lecture. The lecture will provide participants necessary background for the workshop portion of the course and stimulate interest in the topic. The lecture will also include the state of the art modern radar technologies and avenues for research. Participants with an enthusiasm for electronics, physics, or electromagnetics will have the opportunity to work in groups to construct a small radar system with off-the-shelf discrete components. The designed radar systems will be used to find the velocity and range of the objects, and if time permits will be used for imaging applications. This workshop will be the extended version of the workshop that we organized in WEP-2013. The participants should have experience in Basic Electronics Circuit Design, Matlab, Mathematics (Trigonometry). Attendees need to bring their own laptops with Matlab installed.Sajid Ahmed
