Abstract
An apparatus including a transmitter including a pulsed Radio Frequency (RF) source coupled to an antenna. A receiver includes an amplifier coupled to the antenna. A controller is configured to adjust one or more durations of a ranging cycle of the apparatus, wherein the ranging cycle includes a first duration of a gated mode and a second duration of a non-gated mode. The gated mode blinds the amplifier during a transmission of the transmitter. The non-gated mode reduces a gain of the amplifier during the transmission.
