Hardware Design of a FMCW Radar
Component selection, schematic design and PCB design for the FMCW Radar. Describe reasoning for type of radar selected and discuss all design decisions made for the hardware design of the FMCW radar.
Hi, I'm Jake Peters
A Canadian electrical/aerospace engineer interested in RF/microwave communication, radar systems, outer space, skiing and BJJ.
This website was created to help me keep track of projects, lessons learned and general information I would normally forget about. Perhaps my ramblings may prove to be useful for others as well.
