Evaluating the MIT S-band radar as an educational tool

This code repository contains the code that was written to perform Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) imaging using the MIT S-band radar in FMCW mode. This was written for the ISAR demonstrator phase of the final year project.

Repository information:

• mit_radar_isar_processing.m contains the code used for signal processing and ISAR image processing.

• mit_radar_generate_isar_image.m calls mit_radar_isar_processing files and allows a user to import the recorded radar dataset.

• The datasets folder contains sample test data from the dataset that was used.

• The final_code folder contains a modified version of the code that should be run.

• The final_report folder contains the final research report that was written.

Instructions to run code:

To successfully execute the ISAR image generating code:

1. Open the final_code folder

2. Include your local file path that points to the dataset folder on line 26 in the mit_radar_generate_isar_image.m script, i.e

   All_ISAR_wav_recordings = {[filepath,'1_corner_reflectors_1m_downrange_slow.wav]';[filepath,'2_corner_reflectors_1m_downrange_slow.wav']};
   

3. Run the script mit_radar_generate_isar_image.m to generate ISAR images in the recorded radar sample dataset.
