Build Your Own Drone Tracking Radar: Part 1

Video Description

This is the first video in a new 5 part series where I will show you how to build and program your own radar. At the end, we'll use it to locate a small drone. Each video will start with basic radar concepts that I will first explain and then demonstrate. Over the course of the videos, the radar will grow until we have a more complete radar that can generate the classic range doppler plots. 0:00 -- Introduction 1:04 -- Disclaimers 2:35 -- Overview of the Video Series 4:52 -- Basics of Radar Hardware 7:58 -- Option 1: MIT Cantenna Radar 11:11 -- Option 2: Pluto 13:04 -- Option 3: Pluto + Mixers 14:47 -- Option 4: the Phaser 18:30 -- Conclusion Here are the links used in this video: Technical Support Questions on any product from Analog Devices should go here: https://ez.analog.com/adieducation/university-program/ Pluto: https://www.analog.com/adalm-pluto.html Phaser: https://www.analog.com/cn0566 Radar Software: https://github.com/jonkraft/PhaserRadarLabs MIT Lincoln Labs Coffee Can Radar: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/res-ll-003-build-a-small-radar-system-capable-of-sensing-range-doppler-and-synthetic-aperture-radar-imaging-january-iap-2011/ Pluto (only) Radar Setups: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdYfmMYW_R0 https://events.gnuradio.org/event/8/contributions/34/attachments/10/95/2021%20GRC%20presentation%20Cai%20and%20Kraft%20v9.pdf https://youtu.be/MQi-sQ1GZcY Pluto + Mixers Radar Setups: https://youtu.be/FakkMgzru2E https://youtu.be/63qY9tYhhro?si=tfk9vlWQzfLxhtBJ&t=229 Small and Short Range Radar Systems, by Gregory Charvot https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/small-and-short-range-radar-systems-gregory-l-charvat/1125881986?ean=9781498759649
