TABLETOP DOPPLER RADAR
Team Wave Riders
The purpose of the tabletop doppler radar is to create and design a portable doppler radar capable of detecting velocity and distance that can be assembled and disassembled by one person. We would like to thank our sponsors Dr. Willie and Dr. Chrysler of Northern Arizona University for this project. Last Updated: 2/15/19
Project Description
Team Wave Riders
Our clients requested a radar that uses the doppler effect for detecting object locations and eventually would like to determine velocity. The doppler radar must also be small enough to fit on a tabletop so that transportation can be easy enough for just one person. The doppler radar must work in the S-Band frequency range of 2-4 GHz and should be able to detect objects within 100 meters. The clients also requested that the radar is capable of transmitting a continuous wave with the antenna rotating 360 degrees around its axis. The purpose of this project is to eventually make it easier for students to under- stand electromagnetic wave propagation and the doppler effect.
