Abstract

This paper focuses on the design and development of a direct RF sampling transceiver for ultra-wideband (UWB) radar applications. By directly synthesizing and capturing the desired signal, direct RF sampling simplifies the system and reduces analog components. It overcomes the limitations of heterodyne transceiver architecture, particularly the presence of harmonics and spurious signals at the mixer output. This approach enables digital processing and offers flexibility for system reconfiguration. Advanced techniques and concepts in radio transceiver design methodology are explored, discussing the constraints involved in meeting system design requirements for optimal radar system performance. A design of a direct RF sampling transceiver architecture for given requirements set is proposed, which includes concise frequency planning, digital receiver design, and a direct RF waveform synthesis scheme. Furthermore, experimental results demonstrate the suitability of the proposed direct RF sampling transceiver for UWB radar applications.
