FPGA based LFMCW generator for small target detection and ranging

Recently, drones (UAVs) have become increasingly useful in many applications such as surveillance, logistics and aerial recordings because of their cost-effectiveness. However, drones are harder to detect using pulse radar as their radar cross section is smaller and they fly at low speeds, burying t...
