Abstract
Methods and apparatus for generating a target signal with desired phase shift information. In embodiments, a system receives an input target signal having a first frequency and combines the input target signal with an oscillator signal to generate a first output signal having a second frequency. The oscillator signal is generated using a digital component that imparts phase-shift information into the oscillator signal. The first output signal is combined with a fixed frequency oscillator signal to generate a second output signal corresponding to a signal reflected from a target.
