Phase shift keying UWB SRR

Phase shift keying radar devices operate with a continuous carrier emission. In the case of a binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation the carrier phase is shifted by 180 degrees according to a pseudo-noise chip pattern.

Typical operational parameters of a BPSK radar are shown in Table 2:

 
Parameter
typical value
Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF)
none
Chip period
0.5 to 2 ns
Occupied bandwidth (DSB‑20 dB)
4 GHz
Pulse duty cycle
none
Mean power EIRP
0 dBm
Peak power EIRP
0 dBm

Depending on the quality of the phase shifting hardware it is possible to generate a pattern with completely suppressed continuous carrier signal.
