Tin Can Radar
Utilities for designing, building, and using a $35 Tin Can Radar, from the original 2006 prototype designed and built by Michael Hirsch and advised by Greg Charvat.
I include utilities for designing the Wilkenson power divider used to siphon off a sample of the transmit waveform for the homodyne receiver.
I include design equations for using coffee cans for antennas, as well as the more broadband Linear Tapered Slot Antenna.
If you need something more, start an issue or send a message.
