Abstract
A low power pulsed radar level transmitter has first and second pullable oscillator circuits that are offset from one another by a frequency offset. A third or reference crystal oscillator couples a reference frequency output to phase comparators in both the first and second crystal oscillator circuits. The phase comparators adjust biases on varactor diodes that pull the transmit and receive frequencies.
