Principle of Operation
The USP radar system uses electromagnetic pulses that are generated by the transmitting antenna when it is excited by the ultrashort pulse generator, which forms a video pulse of nanosecond duration.The pulses reflected from the target are obtained by the receiving antenna array and supplied to the analog receiver input. Further, using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), they are converted to a digital form and processed by the processing module.
The UWB radar system uses electromagnetic pulses that are generated by the transmitting antenna that a phase-manipulated signal is supplied to. The pulses reflected from the target are obtained by the receiving antenna array and supplied to the analog receiver input. Then, using the ADC, they are converted to digital form and processed by the processing module.
