Kenneth,
Gig ‘em!
GNU Radio is designed to start with I/Q and perform in software all the steps
that you would have done in hardware. So in that respect it is a good fit.
Now, I’m a SW guy and the RF domain still makes my head hurt, but I suspect
that digitizing and processing 77 GHz (!!) is computationally intractable. If
your I/Q is IF and your sample rate is reasonable, then it is feasible.
Also I have no experience with the TX side, but others do.
For algorithm development using recorded data I think you’ll be pleased.
