Abstract :
A new low-cost pulse based ultra-wideband radar system working up to 6.4 GHz has been developed. The main focus was on the use of cheap off the shelf components. Pulse generation in the transmitter was solved with a simple transistor circuitry. In the receiver the down conversion is realized with a sampling phase detector combined with a direct digital synthesizer. To control the radar system and for transmitting the digitized data to the PC a USB-controller is used
