Background
Welcome to the homepage of Sebastiaan Heunis. I am originally from the University of
Pretoria where I completed my B.Eng (Computer Engineering) degree at the end of 2007. I am currently busy with my M.Sc
in radar and remote sensing at the University of Cape Town.
Postgraduate
20 February 2008
My thesis topic hasn't been decided yet, so I'll update this section as soon as that is
done. The work that I will be doing will be in the field of passive radar and Passive Coherent Location (PCL) using
Software Defined Radio (SDR) techniques. Gnuradio and the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) will be used for this.
At the moment I am still busy setting up Gnuradio and trying to achieve communication with the USRP in order to run a
few demo applications to get acquainted with the board. When that is done, I will start to sample and digitise signals
for processing.

At the moment I'm playing around with Marc's simulator to try and get some output data and process it. This will help us to expect
what will happen when we measure real-world signals to detect targets.
