Hi,
I know I'm a little outside the target demographic but I might as well give it a shot.
I'm a high school sophomore (10th grade) and for the past couple years I've been playing around with microwave circuit design. This year I built two radars: a GPR that cost under $50 COTS and a X-band radar with a resolution of 3 cm at -43 dBm output power. Only issue?
I don't have any test equipment except for a nanoVNA, a DMM, and an out of spec analog oscilloscope. This has been causing a lot of problems. I think I spent close to two months while working on the radars because of a simple analog issue that I couldn't find without an oscilloscope.
I think I can put the gear to good use, I always would love to take more about my projects, or to answer any questions!
