Software defined radar based frequency modulated continuous wave GPR

Frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar allows for a wide range of research applications. One primary use of this technology which is explored in this paper is the ground penetrating radar. To achieve high sensing performance, wide-band spectral reconstruction and sophisticated image reconstruction algorithm have been developed to overcome hardware limitations. Applications and future work include Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging, innovative GPR, and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) radar systems.
