-======Circuit and Board Design for a Pulsed Ground Penetrating Radar======
-**Supervisor:**Sebastian Magierowski
-**Description:** The project requires the construction of components for a ground penetrating radar.  The students would have to design microwave boards for the high-frequency components of this unit, on both the transmitter and the receiver.  On the transmitter side the board would take a 5-MHz input clock, run it through a series of off-the-shelf amplifiers and then through a shaping circuit that would convert the input into an outgoing series of pulses (still at 5-MHz repetition rate) less than 400-ps in duration each.  The bandwidth of the signal is roughly 2-8 GHz and hence requires very careful board layout.  The receiver would be a time-shifted sampler, used to sample the returning pulses in progressive periods.  This radar circuit is ultimately intended to be positioned on a rover doing ground analysis.
-**Required Background** A background in undergraduate-level electronics is very important.  Experience with board level implementations and knowledge of microstrip lines would be helpful, otherwise the basics would have to be picked up during the project.
