Hands On Phased Array Workshops this May

I want to invite everyone to the workshops we're doing at the IEEE Radar Conference. These workshops will take place from Saturday May 4 to Monday May 6 in Denver Colorado, USA. Info and registration links are below.
The entire conference lasts until May 10, but the 4 events I will be involved with are:
1. Radar Boot Camp (May 4-5)
2. Hands On Phased Array Workshop (May 6, morning)
3. Hands On Adaptive Digital Beamforming (May 6, afternoon)
4. IEEE AESS Radar Challenge (May 6, evening)

There are a few times I said I wish I live in US. This is one of them. 😢

[@AbduL-wb4pz]

Wow, sounds awesome. Hope you have alot of fun.

[@bob_mosavo]

Thanks, Jon 👍

[@slee360]

It sounds like lots of fun. Is there an ADI employee discount :-) Sang

[@jonkraft]

I hope to you see you there Sang!

I wish I could be there!!

I'm unfortunatly on the wrong side of the atlantic. Thanks for all your content. - Guess in 5 years this hardware will be in the entry sets, so a good time to learn the Theory now 🥰

Actually, next year this will be in Poland: radarconf2025.org

Just discovered the channel. Very cool. Any idea when and where the next conference would be?

Would you mind linking me to your discussion on using hackRF one with the radar? I looked through the comments and was unable to find the discussion. I wish I could show up and check out the boot camp!

[@jonkraft]

It would take 2 HackRF One's to do a CW radar. Just one of them wouldn't be able to do the CW radar that we're doing in this series. Because it can't transmit and receive simultaneously. And so you also can't do the stretch LO to get higher BW. You'd be limited to 20MHz. And since you can't do CW, you'd have to pulsed, which would mean a lot more transmit power. So between pulsed and 20M, you could only see large objects very far away. All solvable problems, it just makes much harder to work on and demonstrate.
Instead, the people that have used hack RF One are using 2 of them for CW radar. Or they are doing passive radar. So I'd research that, and see if you can do something cool with it.

​@@jonkraft Bummer...HackRF One being open Source with plenty documentation out there & so many wickedly talented individuals having some way or another crossed paths with it... I am surprised, seeing that there are a small number ( yet substantial in a sense- otherwise we'd possibly see some traction in the area?)- a small number of very specific limitations which if addressed would make the HackRF one THE device- take it's half duplex limitation... yet not really a limitation since 2 can be daisy chained along together as a feature...but, maybe a limiting one since folks are just like.."put 2 HRF ones together...."...maybe that needs to stop and a talented soul or 2 give us a HackRF Two with full duplex or something of that nature?!

Why is electronics so developed in the USA but there are no layered air defense systems?

Who says there's not
