Abstract
An ultra-wide band pulse transceiver has been developed using integrated circuits which demonstrates a tunable 10dB bandwidth from 1.4 GHz to 3.3 GHz. The transceiver has a synchronous receiver which demodulates and extends the pulse in time using Equivalent Time Sampling (ETS) techniques. Equivalent time sampling has been shown to accurately reconstruct the RF pulse with an ETS factor up to 1.5 million. The RF front-end mixer has a 9dB of conversion loss with a 1dB compression point at -1dBm.
