The MR3003_RD is a reference design based on NXP’s MR3003 chipset. This design builds a high-end 2D radar transceiver with 4 receiving channels and a low phase noise, PLL controlled transmitter. The integrated chirp generator allows creating very fast frequency sweeps. The target information from the 4 receive antennas is digitized and the high speed digital signal  rocessing performs range and doppler FFTs with an update rate of 20 measurements per second. The high frequency bandwidth allows good distance resolution. Target information is sent out  sing the integrated ethernet interface.

The radar is delivered with a .NET control panel software and also the radar firmware in C-code. With the graphical user interface all radar modes can be selected and targets are visualized in  2D Range-Doppler maps, a Range-Range, a Range-Speed or a Range-Angle display.
