Abstract :
The design and performance of an MMIC burst oscillator that oscillates only while the driving pulse is applied are described. Since it does not generate carrier leak, a UWB radar using this oscillator may effectively mitigate interference with services using the restricted frequency band by locating its spectrum sufficiently far from the band.
