Such components, as there is the SAW-Convolver /1/, allow the realization of very fast and precise operating distance measurement systems with a minimum of components in the signal processing circuitry. In addition continous wave (CW) Radarsystems employ a minimum of radiation power /2/. In this paper a microcomputer-controlled distance measurement system using a SAW-Convolver is presented. For data acquisition a special interface circuitry has been realized that allows real-time distance measurement of up to sixteen targets within the observed range. For an improvement of the range accuracy a combination of time-delay and phase measurement is employed in this system.","PeriodicalId":161582,"journal":{"name":"1988 18th European Microwave Conference","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114638808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper describes the system's basic properties, as there are frequency stability and dynamic range, and how they are influenced by the components. Finally applications and results are presented.","PeriodicalId":161582,"journal":{"name":"1988 18th European Microwave Conference","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116259740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
