Abstract:
A radio frequency (RF) transmitter for self-sensing power and phase of an RF signal is provided. A local oscillator (LO) is configured to generate a LO signal. A power amplifier is configured to generate the RF signal from the LO signal, wherein the LO and RF signals are periodic signals sharing a waveform and a frequency. An IQ de-modulator is configured to down convert the LO signal and the RF signal into an in-phase (I) signal and a quadrature (Q) signal, wherein direct current (DC) voltages respectively of the I and Q signals define power and phase of the RF signal. A method for self-sensing power and/or phase of an RF signal, and a radar system within which the RF transmitter is arranged, are also provided.

Claim (Index 1):
A radio frequency (RF) transmitter comprising:\n a local oscillator (LO) configured to generate a LO signal; a splitter configured to receive the LO signal from the LO, and to further output the LO signal to a first splitter output of the splitter and a second splitter output of the splitter; a transmit element electrically coupled to the splitter through the first splitter output, wherein the transmit element is configured to receive the LO signal from the first splitter output, and to generate an RF signal from the LO signal received from the first splitter output; and an IQ de-modulator electrically coupled to the splitter through the second splitter output, wherein the IQ de-modulator is configured to receive the LO signal from the second splitter output, and to down convert the RF signal and the LO signal received from the second splitter output into a down-converted in-phase (I) signal and a down-converted quadrature (Q) signal; wherein the RF transmitter is configured to determine at least one of a phase of the RF signal or a power of the RF signal from the down-converted I and Q signals.
