16 L band Software Defined Radar Signal Processing tecnique The radar signal processing adopted is a particular pulse compression technique called Stretch Processor four distinct steps 1) Rx signal is mixed with a replica of the transmitted waveform; 2) Low Pass Filtering (LPF) and coherent detection are performed in order to avoid the high frequency response achieved at the output of the Mixer. 3) Analog to Digital (A/D) conversion 4) Fast Fourier Transform is used to extract the tones proportional to the target range. ALL THE PROCESSING IS PERFORMED VIA SOFTWARE In the SBC MXE5302

17 Antenna L band Software Defined Radar Elementary square cell sizes are 10cm x 10cm, while the dimensions of the entire array are 80cm x 40cm. Each element has been covered by a thin silver film in order to avoid copper oxidation and the final geometry has been obtained assembling two independent 4x4 square modules

18 Antenna L band Software Defined Radar E Field Radiation Rditi Ptt Pattern at the frequency f= 1.8GHz 18GH A gain of more than 20dB has been achieved according to a 20% input impedance frequency bandwidth obtained (significantly higher inrespect to the classical rectangular patch). A beam width of 11 in the E Plane and 22 in the H Plane has been achieved in the entire frequency band, in theoretical analysis and in both simulations and measurements.
