From the project
This work is based on an original open source project by Henrik Forstén and the original design files can be found here. It is highly suggested that the original sources are studied first as this work follows the same workflow as the original while making a few hardware changes.

5-6GHz-FMCW-Radar: common questions
What microcontroller does the 5-6GHz-FMCW-Radar use?
The 5-6GHz-FMCW-Radar is built around the XC7A15T-1FTG256C, from the FPGA family.
How big is the 5-6GHz-FMCW-Radar PCB?
The 5-6GHz-FMCW-Radar measures 101.8 × 46.9 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the 5-6GHz-FMCW-Radar?
427 components, from 110 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the 5-6GHz-FMCW-Radar design files?
From the Radar-Uniwa/5-6GHz-FMCW-Radar repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the 5-6GHz-FMCW-Radar design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which Radar-Uniwa chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the 5-6GHz-FMCW-Radar without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug FPGA firmware against it before you order a PCB.
