I'm searching for a project to build a radar device or something similar.
I would detect any person moving within a certain area. I would use the system as a security system for some buildings in to a terrain. I would scan at 360° with a maximum distance of 500meters.
I was thinking to a Lidar system using a laser beam and analysing the back scattered radiation.
All my search has the same result: no projects available on the web. The project is too difficult to be realized... and so on...
Thanks John for your reply.
I do not have any experience with millimiter wavelength.
I agree with you, decreasing the range of 500 meters is not so easy to get evenif, the system I linked is able to go far a lot.
I found also another system and also in this case it's easy to reach hundreds of meters:
Thanks Menticol for your links, I saw them but it's not enough, I should contact the person that uploaded the video but I don't think she will help me.
In the meanwhile, I found something that make me right: it's possible to build an Home made radar! have a look here:
the only problem is that the course cost a lot of money and it's carried on in Massachusetts! Unfortunatly I'm in Italy.
...nobody is able to build a radar with a coupple of coffe cups?
