Abstract
A radar system for detecting a target containing electronic components. The radar system includes a radiofrequency transmitter which generates a radar signal at a fundamental frequency. A modulator modulates the radar signal at a modulation frequency and the modulated radar signal is coupled to a transmission antenna. A receiver receives an echo from the radar signal. A filter isolates the harmonics of the fundamental frequency from the echo and a demodulator then compares the phase of the harmonics of the echo with the phase of the harmonics of the radar signal and generates an output signal representative thereof. An imaging algorithm receives the output signal and creates a two-dimensional image of the received echo and then displays that image on a display.
