Abstract

In the context of the Bachelor Graduation Project at the Delft University of Technology Department of Electrical Engineering, we have been tasked with a project to design prototype of a bi-static radar. This thesis describes the waveform design of a bi-static radar system and its implementation with Software Design Radio, SDR for short. The radar system can be mounted on delivery drones and used to detect other drones and obstacles to avoid collisions. The thesis focuses mainly on the radar waveform design. In addition, the thesis provides analysis of the radar system performance and system implementation with commercial off the shelf SDR. A proof of concept has been realised by means of simulations using the open source software GNU Radio Companion.
