Abstract
Example embodiments relate to radar transceivers. One embodiment includes a radar transceiver. The radar transceiver includes a chirp generator for generating a chirp having an initial frequency and a final frequency. The radar transceiver also includes a controllable variable gain amplifier having an input connected to an output of the chirp generator. Further, the radar transceiver includes a control unit connected to a control input on the chirp generator and to a control input on the controllable variable gain amplifier. The control unit is adapted to output a first control signal to the chirp generator such that the chirp generator starts generating the chirp. The control unit is also adapted to output a second control signal to the controllable variable gain amplifier such that the controllable variable gain amplifier starts increasing an amplification in the controllable variable gain amplifier from a first amplification level to a second amplification level.
