Abstract

This paper presents a method for sea monitoring based on a low-cost 24 GHz off-the-shelf FMCW radar and an embedded Raspberry Pi PC. The technique relies upon the use of range-Doppler maps, which are obtained through a 2D FFT processing of the acquired scattered data. The resulting insights may offer new possibilities for monitoring and understanding sea waves, which have important applications The study's findings provide valuable insights into monitoring and understanding sea waves, which can have significant implications for predicting natural disasters and mitigating their impact based on predicted disaster scenarios.
