Abstract
A microwave transceiver using a reflection pumped mixer includes an electromagnetic signal generator, a subreflector, a reflector of electromagnetic signals from the subreflector, a mixer, circulator, and processing circuitry to relate electromagnetic signal frequency differences to the range of a target from the transceiver. Such frequency differences are detected by the mixer from the captured electromagnetic signals reflected distant targets and reflected electromagnetic signals from the subreflector.
