Project Summary

Understanding the movements of small animals and insects is critical to biology and entomology. Typically
the tracking of such organism is done by attaching RF transmitters at their body.  The biggest challenge in
RF tracking these animals is the large size and finite battery life of radio transmitters.  This project presents
a compact harmonic radar system for the detection of such organisms without the need of RF transmitters,
while been functional in cluterous environment.
