NCSU Rabbit Radar – Design, Simulate, and Build
Your Own Radar at Home
This exciting webinar by Professor David S. Ricketts of North Carolina State University is now available for on-demand
viewing. It describes how to design, simulate, and build a 2.4GHz frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar
at home or in a lab.
It begins with a short theory session followed by an explanation of the key components of an FMCW radar, which
include a mixer, power amplifier, coupler, low noise amplifier, and filters. The actual design and simulations are accom-
plished with Cadence AWR software, allowing attendees to design the system and microstrip components, and verify
using electromagnetic (EM) simulation.
Files, detailed design tutorials, and fabrication parts list can all be found at www.rickettslab.org/rabbitradar.
