Drone Detection Using Active Radar

Electrical Engineering

Team 21

Neil Carroll, Kenneth Matt Jefcoats, Dustin Weatherly, Riley Cabanero

Summary

The objective of this project is to design, build, and demonstrate a low cost active radar system capable of detecting objects and determining the angle of approach using software defined radio (SDR) , specifically the ADALM-Pluto. This device is capable of transmitting and receiving radio signals entirely controlled by software. This project will determine if traditional radar techniques can be replicated and miniaturized using low cost off the shelf components.
