I contacted the authors to get the PCB file, but without success (probably related to the fact that one of the author has been awarded a patent since the publication). I may have reproduced their prototype given the PCB file, but I don't want to redesign it from scratch.Merlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901116173524809046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237678261594285909.post-89402421396609179552015-05-21T18:31:49.068-04:002015-05-21T18:31:49.068-04:00I know what you mean.

I would really like to pursue this project, but this will require either some unexpected funding, or finding help from an electronics guru able to design and build some open-source custom RF electronics.Merlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901116173524809046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237678261594285909.post-8051755118110165142015-05-20T14:15:22.314-04:002015-05-20T14:15:22.314-04:00Have you made any headway on the doppler flow meas...Have you made any headway on the doppler flow measurement for lateral (and longitudinal) boat speed?
