| Abstract: An ultra-wideband (UWB) radar transmitter apparatus comprises a pulse
generator configured to produce from a sinusoidal input signal a pulsed
output signal having a series of baseband pulses with a first pulse
repetition frequency (PRF). The pulse generator includes a plurality of
components that each have a nonlinear electrical reactance. A signal
converter is coupled to the pulse generator and configured to convert the
pulsed output signal into a pulsed radar transmit signal having a series
of radar transmit pulses with a second PRF that is less than the first
PRF. |
