FMCW Testbed
A fast sweep FMCW Testbed based on the C700 platform which allows fast sweep rates up to 1GHz per millisecond and supporting simple configurations as well as switched-beam antennas setup for range measurements and position tracking. The main system configuration (described in figure 1 below) supports full FMCW functionalities in a frequency range from 4 to 6 GHz . Besides, it can be controlled as a fast sweep generator employed in a bigger system from 4 GHz to 18 GHz The C700 based Testbed constitutes the main blocks of a real FMCW system such as Waveform generator, VCO (PLL module), Mixer, filters, ADC, and Processing.
