Abstract
A front end for a radar system and method of operation are described. A timing circuit controls operation of a transmitter circuit and a receiver circuit and outputs a valid data signal indicating whether the receiver circuit will be receiving a reflected radar signal. A converter converts a received radar signal and outputs digital data. A serialising circuit receives the digital data and supplies a serial data stream including the digital data for a data processing device. The valid data signal is also communicated to the converter to cause the converter to output a bit pattern corresponding to a code word when the valid data signals indicates that the receiver circuit will not be receiving the reflected radar signal and to output a bit pattern corresponding to a data word including radar data when the valid data signals indicates that the receiver circuit will be receiving the reflected radar signal.
