Low cost networked radar and sonar using open source hardware and software

Experimental and educational applications of radar and sonar hardware would often be facilitated by access to a flexible, digital transceiver. This hardware should be easily reconfigured to implement different transmit waveforms, and sampling requirements. It would be possible to compromise very wide bandwidth in such an environment. This paper reports on the development of a digital transceiver based on Open Source hardware and software from the GnuRadio project.
