Abstract

Wings for Aid is a company which develops an airborne aid-delivery system in emergency-struck areas and wants to use the radar system of Selfly to make an autonomously flying system. The goal of this project is to optimise the current ground-based radar system of Selfly for this application. This is done through the design of a Bi-static radar system, which can be mounted on, and used for drones to detect and avoid other obstacles in the airspace.\
This thesis describes the design process and results of a sub-system of the Bi-static Sense and Avoid System for Drones (BiSAD). This a Bi-static radar system, consisting of three sub-systems that together form the base of the radar system. There will be one transmitter drone and several smaller receiver drones which are designed. Also, an optimal waveform is created for this purpose.\
The report gives a proof of concept and will focus on a proof of concept for the transmitter chain as well as highlight some total system design choices and results.
