Yes, should be a good one. The project is loosely based on the original MIT OCW course: http://ocw.mit.edu/resources/res-ll-003-build-a-small-radar-system-capable-of-sensing-range-doppler-and-synthetic-aperture-radar-imaging-january-iap-2011/
I've also taught a similar class at our university...
I think it really depends on your need. For example, do you need to hit a particular frequency with great accuracy? If so and you want to use a VCO, you'd have to have a very low noise power supply with precision voltage output.
If you are uncertain, I'd go with a VCO first as it is a lot...
It's probably OK if you can make sure that you get the impedance right and that you follow good RF PCB design practices, e.g. maintaining continuous ground plane under RF traces, shield RF traces with many vias and copper pours, etc.
It's also a good idea to follow reference designs provided by...
Well that could be an option but mechanical switches can be expensive.
I was referring to the fact that you don't need a non-reflective switch; you could probably implement one yourself.
Interesting find!
The schematic shows it as a FET. But maybe the final circuit was assembled using a different part. And maybe that's why the final circuit doesn't look quite the same as the schematic.
Thanks for the tips!
I ended up buying an expensive i7-4960X with 64GB memory. It runs pretty fast with the HPC-Pool license, but I haven't done any serious bench-marking yet. I also haven't tried turning the hyperthreading off. With the hyperthreading on though, you seem to be able to run...
