Multimodal radar with wide band communication system by Danial Ritzuan Junaidi

“…Such applications could vary from map imaging, moving target detection to doppler radar and they may also differ in their electromagnetic wave propagation from Line-of-Sight (LOS) to Non-LOS [1]. With that in mind, this project involves working with two distinct radar systems, namely a Drone-Based (LOS), Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Imaging System and a Wall Penetration (Non-LOS), Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) Moving Target Detection Radar System. …”
