As technology is going up day after day, equipments are getting compact more and more. So an idea of having radar on a chip becomes more important. A radar system is broken down into its circuit elements. This system shows how we can have a control on the minimum range detected by a software tool (LABVIEW) by simply moving a button instead of having a complicated circuitry for that. Also a display system implemented fully with the same software that can be transformed into FPGA is shown too as a step towards having radar system fully implemented on a chip. The use of software gives the flexibility in design as it can be applied to any radar without the need to change any parameter in the display system at all.
