Experimental Verification of Object Detection using X-Band Radar

Abstract

In this paper, experimental setup for object detection using continuous wave X-band radar (Radio Detection and Ranging) is presented. Detection of object in free space through the radar system at X-band is verified. It is observed that as the size of the object (target) is increased, the received echo will be more such that the received signal strength is high. Furthermore, as the distance between the radar and the target is increased, the received signal strength is low.
