List of Files:

Python_GUI_4_Sliders_2.py - software in Python, provides GUI to control the radar

Calc_DAC_with_Predistortion.py - software in Python, imported in "Python_GUI_4_Sliders_2.py" to precalculate DAC values

gpr_icon.ico, GPR_logo.gif - images used in the GUI

Mbed_Python_Control_LPC1768_2.bin - firmware to load on LPC microcontroller

Mbed_Python_Control_LPC1768_2_main.txt - same firmware to read the code in the text format

TU1208_Guide to building a GPR radar for educational use _FINAL.pdf - Developer's Guide, see page 2 to reference this project

Datasheets.zip - an archive with datasheets of different radar components

PCBs.zip - an archive with printed circuit boards designs (masks in .png format)

Notice

that there is no tutorial for designing antennas so far. If you make ones, publish your results and send me a link - this could be a valuable contribution to this project and beneficial for other researchers.
