This is the first video in a new 5 part series where I will show you how to build and program your own radar. At the end, we'll use it to locate a small drone. Each video will start with basic radar concepts that I will first explain and then demonstrate. Over the course of the videos, the radar will grow until we have a more complete radar that can generate the classic range doppler plots.
