Abstract
A continuous signal of a radio frequency source is connected to an antenna using at least one mixer to generate and analyze radar pulses. To generate a radar pulse, the at least one mixer is briefly placed into a state of low throughput loss. After the radar pulse is generated and transmitted, the at least one mixer is switched over to a receive mode to analyze a mixed signal formed by a receive signal, in particular at least one radar pulse reflected by an object, and the continuous signal of the radio frequency source.
