ORCA Software-Defined Radar

For a general overview of the ORCA system, we highly recommend reading through our publication:

T. O. Teisberg, A. L. Broome and D. M. Schroeder, “Open Radar Code Architecture (ORCA): A Platform for Software-Defined Coherent Chirped Radar Systems,” in IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, vol. 62, pp. 1-11, 2024, Art no. 5109411, doi: 10.1109/TGRS.2024.3446368.

The documentation is broken into two parts. Radar Code covers everything about the code that runs while the radar is actively collecting data. The Postprocessing section explains how data is saved and explains the basic processing scripts that we provide.
