Noise radar
with Vivace
Martin Ankel, industrial PhD student at SAAB and Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden and the real-time noise radar measurement setup. The 'brain' of the radar is Vivace. It generates the noise signal that is transmitted via the tx antenna and gets reflected off of the UAV. The reflected signal is received by the rx antenna, then amplified and filtered by the analog receiver board to be sampled and analyzed in real-time by Vivace. The analyzed data reveals the distance and velocity of the UAV, which is visualized on a computer.
Challenge: Implement a coherent real-time noise radar system.

Solution: Vivace is an ideal instrument to implement a real-time noise radar. It is capable of operating with 100% duty cycle, 200 MHz bandwidth, and 268 ms integration time while processing a range of about 8.5 km.
