| 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:

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