Hi

My name is Emanuel Mendoza. I am studying Telecommunications Engineering  
in  
the Universidad Nacional de Ingenieria in Lima, Peru. I have plenty  
experience programming in C/C++ and a little bit of python. These  
months, I  
have been working with FPGAs and microblaze processor for some  
commutation  
applications for which I won the semestral contest organized in my  
faculty.  
I would like to develop the radar toolbox so I was checking GNU radio  
code  
and some theory about that.  
My approach to this project is to develop three modules:  
First, the radar control module is for setting the modulation (I was  
thinking in sinusoidal, sawtooth and triangular) parameters and the  
OFDM.  
Then, processing module, in which I would place the filters, and the  
necessary math for getting the range and the velocity from the doppler  
effect.  
Finally, the visualization module which is just for displaying the range  
and the velocity of the last n samples, where n could be set up. I guess  
this could also be exported to a csv or json file.

I hope you can give me some feedback. Thanks in advance

Emanuel

Write up a proposal, then we have something more specific to discuss. In  
general, what you’re suggesting is what I had in mind. Be specific about  
which radar algorithms you want to implement. Visualization will be  
particularly important with this project.

When you put up a proposal, also put up something on melange.
