International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 26-29, 1998 / Town & Country Resort Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California === To help students learn the principles of microwave engineering and electromagnetic theory, labs were developed in which the students built a rail-synthetic aperture radar(SAR) and a Doppler radar. These labs gave the students practical experience in the paper design, simulation, construction, testing, and debugging of RF circuits. This paper includes a description of the design, physical construction, the basic operation, and the results from these projects.
