Study of detection capability of Novelda impulse transceiver with external RF circuit

This paper reports a range of experience gained during application of Novelda impulse transceiver module in an ultra-wideband radar system. The paper describes the specific data acquisition procedure performed by the transceiver module. The external radio frequency (RF) circuit is proposed, which provides improved detection capability of the radar system. The antenna system is designed with respect to the application requirements. Some of the transceiver settings influencing the radar system performance are also discussed in details.
