Radar Kit

Yesterday’s Tech, Today’s Children, Tomorrow’s Breakthroughs

The most ground breaking advancements of last two centuries are now within the grasps of every day people. Allowing today’s students to become exposed to what was once ground breaking frees up higher education to continue raising the bar and allows for further breakthroughs. This project aims to allow high school aged students to experiment with topics which were once unavailable to them.

This project will create the opportunity for students to build a radar and the curriculum for them to use the radar as they discover the fundamentals of using the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum.  The Radar kit will combine concepts from Continuous Wave and pulsed radars by using a continuous frequency sweep, chirp, instead of a pulse. The frequency shift caused by interference from objects can be observed using modulation techniques between the difference between the transmitted signal and the received signal.
