this radar can find (the binary values of) angle and range; only a scope is needed for display. Shame i cant cram more electronics in there. Based on my monopulse radar design, WIP; will design "search" and "track" modes, needs miniaturization

    this looks a bit more like sonar to me

    Upper-center right corner is the bearing; down-right is the range register.

    @mitchell166: Yes it does detect stuff. I deleted the plane and it didn't show anything up on the radar. (The stuff that says "Left" "right")

    great now you need a easy reading scale and something to shoot that at a direct spot

    With the Prototype you can see clearly, thanks to the oscilloscopes, the data that comes from this radar. Basically it's a question of analyzing those waves and information. And yes PTuniverse; PT shows how RCS works in a simplified, exaggerated way

    WHOAH! Front page and 4,000 views?! This is just a sketchy prototype! :P Thanks for the input, i am definitely going to improve the design; this is, as i said, a basic prototype
