Abstract
A millimeter wave pulsed radar system includes a radar synthesizer having a voltage controlled oscillator/phase locked loop (VCO/PLL) circuit, direct digital synthesizer (DDS) circuit and quadrature modulator circuit that are operative to generate an intermediate frequency local oscillator signal (IF/LO signal). A radar transceiver is operative with the radar synthesizer for receiving the IF/LO signal. A transmitter section has a frequency multiplier that multiplies the IF/LO signal up to a millimeter wave (MMW) radar signal and a receiver section and includes a direct conversion mixer that receives a MMW radar signal and the IF/LO signal to produce I/Q baseband signals that are later digitized and processed.
