Abstract:
A short pulse microwave transceiver apparatus comprising:a transmit clock for generating a transmit clock signal;a pulsed transmit oscillator for producing transmitter RF bursts in response to the transmit clock signal;a transmit antenna connected to the transmit oscillator to transmit the transmitter RF bursts;a receive clock for generating a receive clock signal;a pulsed local oscillator for generating gating RF bursts in response to the receive clock signal;a harmonic sampler connected to the pulsed local oscillator;a receive antenna connected to the harmonic sampler to receive RF bursts;wherein the gating RF bursts from the pulsed local oscillator gate the harmonic sampler to detect RF bursts received by a receive antenna;circuitry responsive to the harmonic sampler to provide a detected baseband output.
