Synthetic Aperture Radar Demonstration Kit for Signal Processing Education

A synthetic aperture radar scale model has been developed to improve signal processing teaching. Based on low frequency ultrasound transmission, it is a low cost demonstration kit. The overall software is directly running on Matlab® and allows easy and realtime modifications. This educational tool can be used to test different waveforms and show the effects of a real scene on the final image. It can also be used in a more advanced way to test different signal processing in order to improve image focusing or to reduce computation burden.
