  2. You should find all the info you need here, schematics, bill of material, and .m files: http://ocw.mit.edu/resources/res-ll-003-build-a-small-radar-system-capable-of-sensing-range-doppler-and-synthetic-aperture-radar-imaging-january-iap-2011/projects/

    I would like to find a company to produce the radar kits for folks like you in the near future so that you do not have to order all of the parts individually, but this may take time. Stay tuned.

    For now i suggest ordering all of the stuff on the BOM and go from there. Good luck!
