This article is focused on the design of low cost electronics and software solution for the radar front-end electronics based on the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) for short range FMCW (Frequency Modulated – Continuous Wave) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) system. We developed the radar front-end electronics with USRP type N210 from Ettus Research. As first, we describe requirements for SAR front-end, as second we in the detail describe the system process synchronization, the primary raw signal processing and necessary USRP FPGA program modification. Also we describe by us developed PC control program for system synchronization and raw data transfer control between SAR system high frequency part, USRP radar front-end and measurement PC. Finally, the measurement arrangement of the SAR system testing, real photo of all system and several results from the tests we show.

Článek je zaměřený na návrh cenově přístupné elektroniky a software pro radarový front-end (t.j. vstupní zařízení) na bázi USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral, Univerzální rádiová periférie) pro krátkovlnný radar se syntetickou apertúrou (Frequency Modulated – Continuous Wave) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). Vyviunli jme front-end elektroniku s USRP type N210 od Ettus Research. Jako první popisujeme požadavky na vyvíjený SAR, popisujeme aynchronizaci procesů a program pro FPGA, též softwarové řešení pro řídící PC program a hradlové pole FPGA. Prezentujeme fotografii systému a postup jeho zkoušek.
