This paper presents the first experimental results of an ubiquitous FMCW radar system demonstrator, working in the 8.75 GHz (X band). This system, whose main application is in the area of surface surveillance radars, has been developed within the framework of the project numbered as TEC2014-53815-R, and is currently under its field test phase. The article first presents the demonstrator and describes its main blocks at a system level. Subsequently, the paper focuses on the signal acquisition and digitization processes, so as to later go on to explain the offline coherent signal processing carried out with the captured data. After that, the document introduces the chosen scenario for the first field tests, and shows the first results of the offline processing, illustrated with Range-Doppler matrixes and detection figures. Finally, the paper introduces future work lines, including the development of a radar data processor taking advantage of the strong achieved range-speed association.
