Abstract :
This paper describes the undergraduate radar course taught at the Escola Universitaria Politecnica del Baix Llobregat (EUPBL) of the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona, Spain. At present, the EUPBL offers a three-year degree in Technical Telecommunications Engineering. This paper briefly describes the EUPBL, the organization of the degree program, the structure of the radar course, the evaluation methods, and two practical exercises on a sonar demonstrator and a global positioning system kit.
