Hi! My name is Stefan Wunsch and I would like to make a proposal for GSoC 2014. My project of interest is the radar toolbox as mentioned on the wiki page on [gnuradio.org](http://gnuradio.org). I am a fifth semester student in physics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany. At the Communications Engineering Lab (CEL) I work as student research assistant in the field of radar signal processing, especially FMCW/FSK radar, clutter detection and object classification. I have started to work with GNU Radio a while ago and I feel that a generic radar toolbox would be a great enhancement for the framework. The full proposal can be found on GitHub. > **[GitHub - stwunsch/gsoc-proposal: GSoC14 proposal: GNU Radio Radar Toolbox](https://github.com/stwunsch/gsoc-proposal)** > > GSoC14 proposal: GNU Radio Radar Toolbox. Contribute to stwunsch/gsoc-proposal development by creating an account on GitHub. Any comments and feedback are appreciated before I finally upload it to Google Melange! Best regards Stefan Wunsch ---

You can (and should) immediately post a link to your github on Melange! As for the proposal, it generally looks quite good. The timeline is pretty coarse, and quite generous… I’d recommend an iterative approach here: Start w/ Python blocks for basic stuff, which should be done on the order of days. Then iteratively optimize timing-critical components during the whole thing. Also, I think tagged streams [0] would fit well into this structure, especially for OFDM radar. Perhaps you can think about this and update the proposal.

Hi Stefan - Nice proposal overall! Some items you’ll want to address somewhere (either in the Melange area or in your proposal document): - How long have you been on the GR discussion list? Do you participate regularly? - Have you contributed any code back to GR or any other open-source project? - Will GSoC be your sole work for the summer? (no classes or other paid for work) - Do you have any known times you’ll be on vacation or otherwise unavailable? Obviously this does not over unexpected life events … I’ll encourage you to get your proposal up on Melange; you can just provide a link to your actual document – just 1 place to do updates. Good luck! - MLD
