Radar Development Kit

The Monostatic Radar Module (MRM) software included with the Kit helps users quickly get a feel for how radar works. In monostatic mode, a P452 functions as both transmitter and receiver to issue raw and filtered waveform scans, as well as detection lists consisting of the distance and reflection amplitude of targets within its scan range. Built-in features allow for the viewing of raw scan data, bandpass filtered data, and motion filtered data separately or together. Potential detections based on background subtracted waveforms are also shown along with the distance to target. The MRM GUI allows for an easy transition to directly talking to the radio with the included MRM API for creating your own simple or extremely advanced radar applications.
 
The Channel Analysis Tool (CAT) software allows P452 users to view and log UWB RF waveforms as they propagate through an RF channel. These captured waveforms represent the impulse response of the environment. They can be used as a propagation tool to develop a communications channel model.  CAT provides communications statistics for all received data including: Eb/No, Bit Error Rate and Packet Error Rate.
 
CAT also can be used in support of bistatic or multistatic radar.

In bistatic or multistatic mode, a UWB module broadcasts to one or more other UWB modules to generate a sequence of waveform scans that can be compared over time to discern targets of interest. Best of all, for multistatic operation the units wirelessly transmit a sync signal so there is no need for a hardware connection between the two units.
